The Best Teen Writing of 2006 anthology, featuring selected award recipients from The Scholastic Writing Awards of 2006, was released in Nashville, Tennessee at the National Council of the Teachers of English conference. The anthology was edited by Amanda Blue Gotera, a sophomore at Grinnell College who earned a Gold Award for her writing portfolio in The Scholastic Writing Awards of 2005. As recent alum of The Awards selecting the works to be highlighted, Amanda has enabled the Alliance to showcase the authentic voices of our nation's best teenage writers as determined by one of their own.

Drawn from more than 400 nationally recognized manuscripts, the 250-page paperback book features student award recipients' work in a wide array of genres, styles and subjects. Highlighted works are available to view from our virtual gallery.
