I am excited to share that I will be moderating the Young Adult Fiction panel at the FOLD Festival this year! Due to the pandemic, the festival has moved all events online. This means that you can participate in the festival even if you aren’t in the Greater Toronto Area (the festival usually takes place in Brampton). All events are free, including the panel I will be a part of, Words Without Borders, with four incredible young adult authors: Sheena Kamal; Imam Baksh; Sandhya Menon; Lindsay Wong. Here’s a description of the event:

Authors from Canada, the USA, and Guyana discuss how books explore the way we see ourselves and the world around us. With books that tackle topics like school, boxing and travel in genres that cover everything from fantasy to fairytales and romance, students will hear excerpts from new and established writers and enjoy a powerful discussion.

The event is taking place on Thursday, April 30th, 2:00pm – 2:30pm EST. The event is free but has limited capacity, so make sure to register before space runs out!
