Y’all Come to YALL FEST

From MTV Hol­ly­wood Crush:

We’re pretty con­fi­dent in say­ing that the only place you’ll find a more stacked lineup of YA authors than this year’s YALLFest is the teen sec­tion of your local Barnes & Noble. Because for the sec­ond annual meet-up ded­i­cated to all things young adult, orga­niz­ers Mar­garet Stohl, Pseu­do­ny­mous Bosch and Melissa de la Cruz (pic­tured) are wel­com­ing 48 authors—25 of them New York Times best­sellers. And guess what? We have the EXCLUSIVE lineup for you to scrutinize!

Keep read­ing after the jump to see if your favorite writer will make an appear­ance in South Car­olina. (And let’s be hon­est, with nearly 50 RSVPs, the chances are pretty good!)

The offi­cial lineup includes: Kwame Alexan­der, Jen­nifer Lyn Barnes, Holly Black, Pseu­do­ny­mous Bosch, Sarah Rees Bren­nan, Heather Brewer, Kiera Cass, Cinda Chima, Cas­san­dra Clare, Andrea Cre­mer, Katie Crouch, Gitty Danesh­vari, Melissa de la Cruz, Matt de la Pena, Kim Dert­ing, Simone Elke­les, Eliz­a­beth Eul­berg, Gayle For­man, Kami Gar­cia, Adam Gid­witz, David Macin­nis Gill, Adele Grif­fin, Deb­o­rah Hark­ness, Jenny Han, Siob­han Vivian, Michelle Hod­kin, Ellen Hop­kins, Tonya Hur­ley, Michele Jaffe, Caitlin Kit­tredge, Alyson Noel, David Levithan, Stephanie Perkins, Diana Peter­fre­und, Kathy Reichs, Bren­dan Reichs, Beth Revis, Jes­sica Rothen­berg, Car­rie Ryan, Eliot Schre­fer, Natalie Stan­di­ford, Tren­ton Lee Stew­art, Mar­garet Stohl, Cate Tier­nan, Robin Wasser­man, Mar­jorie Went­worth, John Corey Wha­ley, and Kathryn Williams.

Lit­er­ary Friend­ships is the theme, so it’s only fit­ting that “Mor­tal Instru­ments” author Cas­san­dra Clare and “Spi­der­wick Chron­i­cles” author Holly Black (real-life BFFs, duh) will deliver the keynote speech on that very topic. And, of course, there will be plenty of pan­els, events and per­for­mances to warm your literature-loving hearts.

YALLFest takes place in Charleston, SC, on Novem­ber 9 and 10. Be sure to check the offi­cial YALLFest web­site for all the details.
