Biography
Yana Clio Campos
Yana Clio M. Campos, the author of Arrows of the Mind, was raised in Manila with her younger brother. She wrote her prehistoric coming of age short story a month after her fifteenth birthday, as a gift to her future, and is now in the ninth grade at The Meridian.
I’d appreciated literature and the art of writing but I’d never written a short story before. When we found out about the competition, I wasn’t sure if I was interested, but I eventually agreed, because I could add it to my college portfolio. I did not know what I was doing, but I found myself enjoying it. Reading my story after every revision, each better than the last, made me excited to write more. After my experience with the Young Author Competition, I learned to appreciate written works for their form and composition as well as their content.
