Young Adult Literature Con at LFCC - Updated 22/04/14


Recommended Posts

  • Showmasters Admin

Over the weekend of LFCC Winter last year we announced that in conjunction with The Booktrust and Malorie Blackman, the Waterstones Children's Laureate, we would be hosting the first Young Adult Literature Convention (#YALC) at London Film and Comic Con 2014!

The Young Adult Literature Convention will bring together all the UK’s YA publishers to provide a host of author events in a dedicated Book Zone, with talks, workshops, signings, a book sales area and publisher stands promoting new and upcoming titles. Blackman will act as a curator for the two-day convention, uniting authors and publishers throughout the UK community. 2014’s YALC event will be the first time a large scale public convention around YA books has taken place in the UK, and its setting among the fans of cultish film and TV will set books at the heart of entertainment for teens and young people.

A Schedule of events will be coming soon.

Good to hear of other authors outside display too. Showmasters as far as I know haven't announced any yet. So good to hear you are.

Yay! Hope to get to meet you!

What's your name and I'll come see you there? I can only find your user name.
