I’m so happy to announce that I will be appearing in this year’s line up for the Sydney Writer’s Festival! What a pinch-me moment. I’ll be appearing with legends Amie Kaufman and Malla Nunn during All Day YA on Saturday, May 21st, chatting to Maya Le Her about our strong teen characters!
The Feminine Critique
History would have us believe that masculinity and strength are entwined, while femininity is inherently weak. Three authors whose work celebrates the dynamic fierceness of teenage girls come together to discuss their books’ protagonists and their differing depictions of courage. From finding power in friendship and family to the steel that is found within, Amie Kaufman (Aurora’s End), Kate Murray (We Who Hunt the Hollow) and Malla Nunn (Sugar Town Queens) join Sydney Writers’ Festival Youth Curator Maya Le Her to delve into the characters redefining strength for this generation of readers.
