Event

Alumni writers Zachary Sergi (C’10), author of Major Detours (Running Press Kids, 2021), and Jennifer Yu, (C’16), author of Four Week, Five People (Harlequin Teen 2017) and Imagine Us Happy (Harlequin Teen 2018), will join us at the Kelly Writers House — in the Class of 1942 Garden, under a covered tent — for a reading of their work, followed by a conversation about YA fiction. What special approaches do writers take when they write for young adults? How do authors craft narratives that appeal to teens? And what are challenges — and rewards — of YA writing?
