Before YALLFest 2013 kicked off in Charleston, SC, I appeared on ABC 4’s LowCountry Live to chat Unbreakable, Dangerous Creatures, & the festival. You can watch the interview here. One of the best things about visiting the South is definitely the food. Tollhouse Cookie pie is always on my must-eat list.
Before the keynote, the festival organizers (including myself) kicked things off by telling attendees about some of the panels this year. Pseudonymous Bosch talked up the Middle Grade panels, but everyone knows YA is way more awesome.
On stage with Jonathan Sanchez from Blue Bicycle Books, YA Smackdown MCs Gayle Forman & Adam Gidwitz, Libba Bray (lead singer for all-YA author band Tiger Beat), Brendan Reichs, Pseudonymous Bosch, Melissa de la Cruz, & Margaret Stohl.
Our rock star Keynote speakers, Veronica Roth & Rae Carson, talking “Girl Power, Boy Power” on the Amazon Mainstage.
