We'll also be giving away a copy of the Crescendo audiobook, coming up in October.
What happened to “it’s just for teens”?
Once upon a time, the Young Adult lit section of your favorite bookstore may have been
a destination solely for teen readers. But not anymore. Young Adult (or YA) is bigger than
ever these days. You can thank Harry Potter or Twilight, or simply the massive wave of
incredibly well-written, fascinating stories coming from YA authors. Whatever the cause,
there is a plethora of fantastic YA to choose from at this year’s Wordstock Festival.
Join us for authors like New York Times best-seller Becca Fitzpatrick, or Patrick Ness,
whose Chaos Walking trilogy is drawing comparisons to the widely popular Hunger
Games series. You can also find some of these authors in our “YA Gets Real” panel,
discussing how the genre is increasingly addressing serious subjects and how they
relate to teens (not just wizards and sparkly vampires). YA authors discuss their work on
other panels, as well, such as the supernatural in fiction, ghostwriting, selling the movie
rights and social networking. We’re really excited about this year’s YA authors, and we
think you will be too.
