Writing & Reading Eye-Roll-Proof Books for Kids & Teens

A11/A10 - Authors/Comics

Sunday November 10, 2019 - 3:00 pm to 3:50 pm


As a writer, it's a fine line between writing a novel that resonates with the target audiences of pre-teens and teens. Compounding the confusion is that kids and teens not only don't like to be called "kids and teens", but they resist the classifications that librarians, teachers and parents use to classify books, "Young Adult" and "Middle Grade". How do these authors navigate that fine line and what they've written that can speak to adults, kids and teens, without talking down to any of them.
