PANEL: It’s Our World, You’re Just Reading It
Location: Room 1E10
Whether it’s setting a revenge-fueled mystery in a post-apocalyptic society, weaving vampires into the historical fabric of New Orleans in 1872, building a haunted house between the pages of a book, or creating an edgy technological world eerily similar to our own, Arvin Armadi, Ally Condie, Reneé Ahdieh, and Danielle Vega know how to craft landscapes through language. Moderated by Maggie Steifvater.
1:30pm-2:15pm
PANEL: Making Out Between the Pages
Location: Room 1E16
A love that inspired a nation; one fateful day to capture your destiny; a will-they-won’t-they romance between an American girl and a literal Princess – if there’s one thing these stories have in common it’s the passion that fuels them. Melissa de la Cruz, Rachel Hawkins, and Nicola Yoon talk about all the swoons and smooches between the pages. Moderated by David Yoon.
