Couldn't make it out to the Next Chapter Writers' Summit? We're thrilled to bring you this conversation between LA County Librarian Dr. Skye Patrick and bestselling YA author Adam Silvera!

On Sunday, October 5, LA County Library was joined by Adam Silvera, author of YA novels like More Happy Than Not and They Both Die at the End. We had such a great time with him, we just had to revisit the conversation with all of you! 

Adam's conversation reflects his work -- candid, authentic, and full of such care and love for his audience. With works that explore love, loss, identity, and the power of speculative storytelling, Silvera has become a defining voice in young adult literature. This discussion was wide-ranging and covered his creative and mental health journeys, the realities of being an author, the importance of authentic representation, and what it means to write honestly for — and about — young people today. If you're a reader or a writer of books for young people, you won't want to miss it. 

Please note: this conversation touches on some very sensitive topics around mental health. Please take care when listening. 

Adam Silvera is the #1 New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of They Both Die at the End, The First to Die at the End, The Survivor Wants to Die at the End, More Happy Than Not, History Is All You Left Me, the Infinity Cycle (Infinity Son, Infinity Reaper, Infinity Kings), and co-author of What If It’s Us and Here’s to Us. He is tall for no reason. Visit him online at adamsilvera.com.
