When you think of an adult in a YA book, who do you think of? Why?
Event Moderator: Emma
Where do the grown-ups fit in in children’s books? Balancing the desire for independence with a continued need for support, parents and mentor figures in books for children and youth often fill a nebulous spot, from absent or malicious to wise and understanding. Join our panelists as they discuss how they create their older parent and mentor characters, what relationships they have with the youthful protagonists, and what to keep in mind when writing from a kid or teen’s point of view.

Heaven's Vault
Event Moderator: Nephele
