Is it a poem? Is it a novel? Can't it be both? Award-winning author Sarah Crossan is here to talk about writing for young people, writing in verse, and even how verse novels might just be able to provide some of that dopamine hit that social media does, only without all the bad bits! Sarah's verse novels, including Moonrise, One and Toffee, can undoubtedly be a way into reading for young people (and adults) who might struggle to access more traditional literature. Sarah's writing addresses so many important topics facing society, and listening to her talk about her process was definitely a fangirl/boy moment for us both.
