Forget quiet growth and gentle lessons. "Coming of Rage" dives headfirst into the raw power of teenage anger, rebellion, and survival. Join four powerhouse Young Adult authors as they explore what happens when characters refuse to play by the rules and use righteous fury to fight back against corruption, trauma, and killers. From gritty real-world verse and dark academia secrets to high-stakes fantasy and 90s vampire horror, this panel pulls zero punches.

🙋♀️ K L Kaine: Author of Blood of Gods and Girls, exploring magical defiance and righteous fury in oppressive fantasy worlds.
🙋♀️ Tia Fisher: Carnegie Shadowers' Medal winner (Crossing the Line), unpacking real-world frustration and vulnerable teens fighting flawed systems.
🙋♀️ Kate Weston: Author of Murder on a School Night, sharing how teenage girls use dark wit and sharp anger to tear down the patriarchy.
