The AGM will also feature discussion on the topic "What constitutes YA Fiction", and will include guest speaker T.C. Shelley.
T.C. Shelley is a local author who has been teaching English for over twenty years. But long before she took up teaching, was writing and performing her poetry and short stories. She began writing novels to entertain her daughter, who wisely suggested that she try to get them published. Shelley has written The Monster Who Wasn't is her first novel, followed by The Werewolves Who Weren’t. T. C. is currently editing her YA novel and will present on the process of bridging the upper primary to middle grades and Young Adults.
