Do you want to write your own young adult book? Talk to local authors Charles Benoit and Deena Lipomi to get tips to get you started, and strategies to help you finish! Charles Benoit is the author of three award winning Young Adult novels: Fall From Grace, You, and Cold Calls, and has taught writing workshops around the country. If he is not writing or teaching, he's probably playing tenor sax in Some Ska Band. By day Deena Lipomi works as a Young Adult Services Librarian in a busy public library, and by night she dives into her novels. Deena has self-published three teen e-books: Black Out, Deserted, and Sisters Don't Tell. Recently, she moderated a teen author panel at Teen Book Fest 2015.
