YA FICTION Building Worlds  
Description: Marina Budhos engages three authors of very different Young Adult books in a lively discussion of world-building, inspiration, and what makes a successful YA novel. Tochi Onyebuchi’s action-packed, futuristic fiction includes War Girls and Beasts of the Night, and his latest, the adult novel Riot Baby. Writer and performer Abby Sher’s darkly comic new novel Miss You Love You Hate You Bye considers friendship and mental health, while Emma Lord’s debut Tweet Cute is a witty rom-com reinvention.
