Join host Adrian M. Gibson and FanFiAddict's Tori Gross, Paige Harris and Justin Gross for our very first FanFiAddict family panel, where we delve into YA vs. Adult SFF. As we each come from different backgrounds and have different experiences with YA, we wanted to know if there really is a difference between the two. Where do the lines blur? Are genre classifications even useful? What does YA offer that Adult SFF doesn’t? During the panel, we discuss all of that and more, including SFF and contemporary YA, queer representation and diversity, misconceptions about YA and our hopes for the future of the genre.
ABOUT THE PANELISTS:
Tori Gross is an author, poet, and reviewer. She predominantly reads YA SFF, but is more than willing to peruse all genres if they pique her interest.
Find her on Twitter or on FanFiAddict.com.
Paige Harris started book blogging 7 years ago and never looked back. She started out in YA and has since moved on to Sci-Fi, Fantasy and Horror, although it’s rare for her to read something she doesn’t enjoy!
Find her on Twitter or on FanFiAddict.com.
Justin Gross is a lover of all things SFF and has been an avid reader since he was three. He's attempting to build the world’s largest private library (not really, but ask his wife Tori and she might agree).
Find him on Twitter or on FanFiAddict.com.
