Over half of YA readers are adults, so what makes certain stories transcend age? Explore iconic coming of age books beloved across generations, from Little Women and Looking for Alibrandi to the Summer I Turned Pretty. Why do we keep returning to them? Through discussion and guided writing exercises led by forthcoming debut author Meg McDermott, examine what these stories have in common - voice, specificity, emotional stakes, the intensity of adolescence - and learn how to apply these in your own YA writing for maximum impact.
All details about accessibility options can be found on EWF website, here.
