Tonight’s opening event at Tetbury Goods Shed features YA author, Meg Roscoff in conversation with Tiffany Murray, author of My Family and Other Rock Stars.

Meg Rosoff – Almost Nothing Happened: Writing for Young Adults

Meg is one of the most innovative and challenging authors working in young adult fiction today. The award winning author of How I Live Now, What I Was, The Great Godden, and Friends Like These, Meg has written compelling stories that cross genres and boundaries, with vital and unforgettable characters.

Her focus on narrative and empathy with her characters means that her books are subtle and beautiful – an unusual quality in writing for young adults.

Meg will be in discussion with Tiffany Murray, author of My Family and Other Rock Stars about her new book, Almost Nothing Happened, why writing for teenagers is so important, and how it has the capacity to change lives. Her heroes are ordinary people dealing with extraordinary situations and the choices they make.

This event would be great for young adults, teachers, parents, and anyone who writes, as well as a more general audience.

Licensed bar. Doors open at 6:30pm. Talk starts at 7pm.
