3. RADELAIDE READS – Dymocks Adelaide YA SPECTACULAR Panel “Why YA is Here To Stay”

A Recording of the Dymocks Adelaide YA SPECTACULAR Panel “Why YA is Here To Stay” on Wednesday 14th November 2025.

Episode Description: We’ve got something a bit different and a bit special for Radelaide Reads this month: a recording from the Dymocks Adelaide YA SPECTACULAR event – on Wednesday 14th November 2025 a panel of seven (yes, SEVEN) YA authors, assembled at Dymocks Rundle Mall to discuss the topic of why “YA Is Here to Stay”. It was a phenomenal event, in front of a huge crowd, and many people who couldn’t attend asked whether there was any chance it was recorded. Well lo and behold I did strategically position a microphone to capture the brilliance.

Here’s a list of the authors (Instagram handles and latest book titles) who made up the panel:

@vikkiwakefield (moderator) This Is How We Change The Ending
@allaynewebster Maisy Hayes is Not for Sale
@lkclipstone Tenderly I Am Devoured
@mikelucasauthor One By One They Dissappear
