Young Adult (YA) fiction is a dynamic and expansive genre, filled with subgenres that captivate young readers through engaging stories and compelling characters. How crucial is storytelling in shaping young minds? And what is the significance of seeing yourself reflected in the books you read?

Join Richard Lambert (The Republic of Dreams), Eva Wong Nava (The House of Little Sisters), and chair Joyce Chua (No Room in Neverland) as they share invaluable insights into their writing processes and publishing journeys. Together, they will explore the craft of character development, the balance between theme and storytelling, and the important role YA literature plays in young readers’ lives.

Supported by the National Arts Council of Singapore.
