Dive into the imaginative realms of middle grade/YA fantasy authors Tamara Moss (Lintang and the Pirate Queen) and Meg Caddy (Slipping the Noose) as they discuss how they bring their worlds and characters to life to empower and entertain younger readers. This panel session will be facilitated by Bianca Breen.

Meg Caddy is a part-time bookseller and a full-time nerd. Their fantasy novel Waer was shortlisted for the 2013 Text Prize and the 2017 CBCA Book of the Year Award, and their historical fiction Devil’s Ballast was shortlisted for the 2020 Readings YA Book Prize. They are currently undertaking a PhD in queer fiction.
