Y’all, YALLFest is coming to Charleston! No, this is not a festival to see who can produce the most adorably drawn out y’aaaaalllll. It’s a YA extravaganza bringing twenty top young adult writers to Charleston for a weekend of seminars and panels. Even at the large kidlit conferences, you are unlikely to get this many NYT bestsellers (eleven!!) in one place, so I’m pretty much giddy with excitement that this will be happening just down the road from me.
The festival will be November 11th and 12th. It looks like the Friday events are only for high school and college students, so the big day for writers in the area will be Saturday. There will be seven hourly panels at Blue Bicycle Books during the day, as well as a YA SmackDown on Saturday night. The whole day should be a blast and an excellent way to meet other YA writers in the area. If you live within easy driving distance, you should definitely be here. And even if you don’t live nearby, Charleston is a gorgeous city and an excellent place for a November vacation!
