And that’s it from me for #AllDayYA for 2023! Thank you so much to @LuffNathan and everyone at @SydWritersFest for a great day of talking #LoveOzYA! #SydneyWritersFestival
Q: What expectations do the teens in the authors’ books face? A: Expectations around sexuality and heteronormativity (@willkostakis & @GLonesborough), around the myth that Generation Z is anxious and useless (Tegan Bennett Daylight). #AllDayYA #LoveOzYA #SydneyWritersFestival
My final #AllDayYA session is This Is Now with @FelicityCastagn, Tegan Bennett Daylight, @willkostakis, Shirley Le and @GLonesborough 👏 #LoveOzYA #SydneyWritersFestival
Yay for writers festivals & very kind authors who will laugh with you about this crazy industry @elliemarney & for hangs with YA writing pals @hayleyblawrence (Absolutely will/must find some time in teacher-report-writing week to read NONE SHALL BREAK!) #AllDayYA
On writing inclusive and diverse #LoveOzYA and the importance of representation for young readers: @AmieKaufman says “You never want to *tell* someone else’s story, but you want to make sure that they’re *in* yours.” #AllDayYA #SydneyWritersFestival
How do the authors start the process of world-building? @AmieKaufman: take away something (e.g. planes) - how does that affect things big and small? @LynetteNoni: what are the differences and similarities between this world and ours? #AllDayYA #LoveOzYA #SydneyWritersFestival
.@AmieKaufman: you need to include limitations for your magic otherwise it’s too limitless. In The Isles of the Gods, you have to sacrifice (big/small) to access magic. If you don’t, the spirits may take things from you - time or luck #AllDayYA #LoveOzYA #SydneyWritersFestival
What is the spark for the authors’ books? All cite real life inspiration - @AmieKaufman mentions tall ships from the 1920s, @twitofalili mentions lost girls and forests, @LynetteNoni talks about Fremantle Prison’s underground tunnels #AllDayYA #LoveOzYA #SydneyWritersFestival
The third #AllDayYA panel is World Building with @AmieKaufman, @LynetteNoni, @twitofalili chaired by @LuffNathan 🐉 #LoveOzYA #SydneyWritersFestival
.@elliemarney: 1st person present tense brings immediacy to thriller narratives but can also limit you to 1 characters’ thoughts. Close 3rd person can allow you to explore multiple POVs and locations, while getting a sense of emotion #AllDayYA #LoveOzYA #SydneyWritersFestival
.@elliemarney likes to “write hot” - being in the same mindset as her characters (heart racing, pulse thumping). The writing then echoes the feeling of suspense, and that emotion comes through on the page to affect readers #AllDayYA #LoveOzYA #SydneyWritersFestival
How do you write about locations you might not have visited? @tristanbancks: Google Maps is very helpful; you can actually travel down the streets themselves. It not only gives you basic info but helps you fill in lots of details! #AllDayYA #LoveOzYA #SydneyWritersFestival
What are some good ways to ramp up tension? @elliemarney: have different plot threads that run parallel, that you can cut away to, before leading up to them intertwining. Also short, clipped dialogue to reflect characters’ stress levels #AllDayYA #LoveOzYA #SydneyWritersFestival
“Dark copers” an interesting concept shared by @elliemarney https://t.co/9HHVbuO2CM #sydneywritersfestival #AllDayYA
Mette Jakobsen uses dictation software when writing her stories, often walking down the street narrating to herself. She writes really gory stories in first person present tense, which sometimes leads to strange looks from others 😂 #AllDayYA #LoveOzYA #SydneyWritersFestival
The next #AllDayYA session is On Tenterhooks with @tristanbancks, @elliemarney, Mette Jakobsen talking all things #LoveOzYA thrillers and suspense 😱 #SydneyWritersFestival
How do you write characters with a different sexuality or gender identity to your own? @AliceBwrites: carefully and with great care. Research, talk to people with lived experience, sensitivity readers. @leannewrites: write with respect! #AllDayYA #LoveOzYA #SydneyWritersFestival
.@AliceBwrites: when you’re writing romance for young people you have a responsibility/duty of care in what you depict, for example in Dancing Barefoot there is consent asked for and answered clearly on the page. #AllDayYA #LoveOzYA #SydneyWritersFestival
What makes a good love interest? @leannewrites: it’s not just banter, playing off each others’ strengths/weaknesses, it’s about respect. She worked hard to make Jay, the love interest in Two Can Play That Game, respectful and not toxic #AllDayYA #LoveOzYA #SydneyWritersFestival
