Join moderator Katie Bartow, founder of the popular Mundie Moms blog, as she invites Tor Teen authors Kristen Simmons (Metaltown)Susan Dennard (Windwitch), and Sarah Porter (Vassa in the Night) to discuss their forthcoming books, as well as the trials and tribulations involved in living within these speculative worlds. Participants will also be able to play Bingo for a chance to win prizes!

Friendship is Magic 12:30pm – 1:30pm | W470

Romance gets a lot of love in YA fiction, but friendship never takes the backseat in the novels of New York Times bestselling authors Alexandra Bracken, Susan Dennard and Sarah J. Maas.
