The Young Eager Writers Association, founded by Desirée Brown, serves youth writing communities around the world, providing young writers with opportunities, resources, education, and connections in helping them establish strong foundations in their writing careers. The yew tree is our symbol, its long life expectancy representing the longevity of our young writers' sustaining futures. As the YEW Association manages the annual YEW Conference, The YEW Journal, workshops, podcasts, and other programs, we hope to keep motivating eager writers throughout their journey to success.

Mission Statement:

Our mission is to help young writers build sustainable careers as storytellers through our network of programs and virtual spaces, our annual conference, our media content, and other resources and services.
