Hear from a panel of some of the most exciting YA authors in Australia as they share insight into their stories about young people finding courage and conviction amidst hardship. Featuring Miranda Luby (Sadie Starr’s Guide to Starting Over) and Rhiannon Wilde (Where You Left Us), in discussion with Demet Divaroren.
