3rd Annual Young Adult Novelist Convention | Belmont

Submitted by the Event Organizer

The Young Adult Novelist Convention (YANovCon) is your exclusive connection to some of today’s top authors of books for middle and high school youth (and everyone else who can appreciate these amazing talents).

This free half-day celebration will include panel discussions, author hangouts, and book signings with the following YA novelists:

Kati Bartkowski, Kristin Clark, Kim Culbertson, Carrie DiRisio, Zetta Elliot, Tim Floreen, Lamar Giles, Hillary Homzie, Ellen Hopkins, Abigail Johnson, Stephanie Kuehn, Heidi Lang, Gretchen McNeil, Greg Neri, Robin Roe, Meredith Russo, Dashka Slater, Andrew Smith, Tamara Ireland Stone, Jessica Taylor, Laurie Ann Thompson, Na’amen Gobert Tilahun, Jeff Zentner, and unexpected guests.

Not only will you get to learn more from your favorite authors about their writing and publishing process, they are also working to highlight the social justice themes these authors incorporate in their work. They’re encouraging you to look for ways you can help make the world a safe space for everyone.

Books will be available to purchase on site thanks to their wonderful partnership with Books Inc. Although they don’t require an RSVP to attend, they are giving away free books to select attendees who sign up in advance to say “thanks”.
