In addition to the panels outside on the Y.A. stage, there are MANY ticketed Y.A. panels on 4/13. (Details below). You may have to stage your very own insurgency to get a seat for Veronica Roth chatting with Leigh Bardugo at 11 a.m. (They were great at YAllfest last fall.) Have your clicker fingers ready on April 6th to get that ticket.
Stephen Chbosky is showing up at high noon to interview the lovely and talented Ava Dellaira about her fantastic debut novel, Love Letters to the Dead. (You can read the first five chapters for free at that link. Do it!)
Or, if that seems too traumatic because, well, ALL THE FEELS, you can come yuck it up with me, Robin Benway, Lauren Myracle, and the Fug Girls on the YA Stage. We might talk about books. Or we might talk about how Claire Underwood could single-handedly bring back the anklet if she decided to. One never knows…
