Escape into fiction with us at the 11th annual YANovCon, a free, half-day convention connecting local teens and YA enthusiasts (or fans or readers) to some of today's top YA authors. We'll start the day with a Teen Writing Workshop led by novelist Arriel Vinson, followed by a keynote address by author Don Martin. The convention will include a Q&A session and three engaging panel discussions exploring topics connected to this year’s theme, Fantasy vs. Reality: Escape into Fiction. YANovCon will conclude with author book signings. Books will be available to purchase on-site thanks to our wonderful partnership with Linden Tree Books. Please note that this event takes place in the Belmont Library.
