Episode # 154 Y.A Yay OR Nay ? Young Adult Fiction

TV & Film

Women In Horror Recognition Month Special

In the studio Sonja and Dr Emma talk about Young Adult fiction with Jordie Kerr freelance writer and expert on the genre.
We discovered it has ‘mash-ups’ and genre mixing, it has great appeal, elemental, some Horror and plenty of adolescent angst and romance ! But mostly we discovered our own Guilty Pleasures in the style of writing…and it’s not all just about “sparkly vampires”, it’s often about feeling belonging, connection, and learning to feel ok !

Jordie gave us a heads up on LGBTIQ content in Y.A, and what is available.

We also had Dr Emma interview Young Adult author Karen Healey in NZ about her new young adult sci-fi book: ‘When We Wake’
“Accessible, thoughtful and compelling — science fiction done right.” – Kirkus Reviews

And Sonja spoke to Angela NDalianas about Zombies and The Walking Dead @Acmi Thursday the 28th Feb in Melbourne.

Finally we chatted about the movie Beautiful Creatures: Yay OR Nay? Listen to this podcast to find out !!
