This coming week, the Tulsa Library is hosting a wonderful event called Tulsa Day of YA. This FREE event “celebrates young adult literature and those who love it by bringing together authors, fans, and aspiring writers through workshops, panel sessions, and academic discussion.”
Doesn’t that sound fantastic? I can hardly wait!
The event begins with a special opening keynote on Friday night, February 21, with Justina Ireland, author of DREAD NATION, in conversation with Tulsa Artist Fellow Juliana Goodman.
I just finished reading DREAD NATION and it is so good! I can hardly wait for the sequel coming out soon!
On Saturday, February 22nd, the day begins with a Women in YA panel featuring Cindy Pon, Justina Ireland, Sonia Gensler, M. Molly Backes, and Juliana Goodman with Ally Carter moderating.
How awesome to have two fabulous Oklahoma SCBWI writers on this panel! Am I right?
The rest of the day continues with great break out sessions and a FREE lunch. The day concludes with a book signing! What more could a lover of YA want?
All events will be held at Central Library, 400 Civic Center, Tulsa, OK 74103.
To attend this free conference, you must register in advance. Lunch will be provided on site.
