Warrnambool Storytelling Festival switches the POV to YA with Writes of Passage, giving young readers and writers the chance to listen to, chat with, and learn from an acclaimed YA author in a fun, informative and interactive session.

Award-winning, Sunday Times-bestselling fantasy and speculative fiction author Keshe Chow will feature in a special event at Tilly Divine on Monday 6th July, for participants aged 13-21.

Following a talk and Q&A session about her YA novels The Girl with No Reflection (2024) and For No Mortal Creature (2025), Keshe will lead the 'Story Shakeup' session: an introductory workshop about crafting a story idea and beginning to develop worldbuilding - with Tilly Divine milkshakes for all participants!

Book purchases will be available thanks to Collins Booksellers Warrnambool, with time for author signings at the end of the event.
