Surviving Fictional Worlds with Tor Teen!
An enchanted Brooklyn. A city ravaged by disease and poverty. A magical realm facing an impending war. Which world would you survive in? 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!

Kristen Simmons will be a guest bookseller in the Macmillan booth sharing her favorite titles. (We are selling this year as opposed to bringing in a bookseller.)
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. These powerhouse authors know the importance of friendship, both on and off the page and will discuss how they create characters even their readers wish they could befriend.
