The Glen Arbor Arts Center will host Brittany Cavallaro, author of seven Young Adult (YA) novels, will speak May 18 as part of the GAAC “Coffee with the Authors” program.
Cavallaro will explained this stand-alone genre, and how she approaches it. Cavallaro is a creative writing instructor at the Interlochen Arts Academy, her alma mater. Her New York Times bestselling “Charlotte Holmes” series is set in a boarding school.
YA fiction is geared to readers 12 to 18 years, and takes on mature subjects. Cavallaro populates her novels with strong, female characters who are often more clever and more resourceful than the adults in their lives.
Sarah Bearup-Neal, GAAC gallery manager, leads the conversation, which begins at 11 a.m.
GAAC is located at 6031 S. Lake St. in Glen Arbor.
