Learn more about their books and get an insider's view of their creative processes. Meet & Greet Book signings will be held immediately following the panel discussion. 

Fantasy world-building for young readers creates universes with unique rules, cultures, and magic. It's the foundation for compelling characters and stories, immersing readers in rich narratives. Effective fantasy balances imagination, consistency, and relatable elements, connecting fantastical worlds to readers' experiences and emotions.
