I'm so excited to join fellow middle grade fantasy authors Kaela Rivera, Alysa Wishingrad, Shakirah Bourne, and G.Z. Schmidt, along with fabulous teacher and Book Dragon, Alexis Ennis, to talk about world building in fantasy! Our pre-recorded panel airs on August 7th at 11 AM EST as part of Middle Ground Book Fest. 

More details about the festival and how to watch are on their website. ​https://www.middlegroundbookfest.com/ 

I had a blast hanging with Alexis and Tiffany from Legit KidLit as well as fellow authors Kaela Rivera and Alysa Wishingrad. You can catch the replay of our live event on the Legit KidLit YouTube channel and watch us do a scavenger hunt, play two truths and a lie, and laugh along as we craft a brand new story together one word at a time.

"Changed in the Retelling" Panel

In the same way a chef can freshen a familiar dish with a new approach, so do these authors engage readers with their fresh perspectives on familiar stories from around the globe. Alyssa Colman (The Gilded Girl), Genevieve Gornichec (The Witch’s Heart), Nghi Vo (When the Tiger Came Down the Mountain, The Chosen and the Beautiful), Heather Walter (Malice), and Kiersten White (The Camelot Betrayal) discuss the ways their choices make these tried and true adventures more accessible and exciting for new readers with Maryelizabeth Yturralde (Creating Conversations).
