"It's my first fantasy - I do feel like I've been waiting twenty years to write a fantasy novel, it's what I've always wanted to do - but it's about friendship more than anything." - @twitofalili

Join #LoveOzYA's A B Endacott @ajendacott as she chats to Lili Wilkinson @twitofalili about her new novel A Hunger of Thorns. This is Lili's first fantasy novel! Described as a Sapphic, botanical, magical book, this is ultimately a story of friendship. https://t.co/zreDORL5St

On writing inclusive and diverse #LoveOzYA and the importance of representation for young readers: @AmieKaufman says “You never want to *tell* someone else’s story, but you want to make sure that they’re *in* yours.” #AllDayYA #SydneyWritersFestival

How do the authors start the process of world-building? @AmieKaufman: take away something (e.g. planes) - how does that affect things big and small? @LynetteNoni: what are the differences and similarities between this world and ours? #AllDayYA #LoveOzYA #SydneyWritersFestival

.@AmieKaufman: you need to include limitations for your magic otherwise it’s too limitless. In The Isles of the Gods, you have to sacrifice (big/small) to access magic. If you don’t, the spirits may take things from you - time or luck #AllDayYA #LoveOzYA #SydneyWritersFestival

What is the spark for the authors’ books? All cite real life inspiration - @AmieKaufman mentions tall ships from the 1920s, @twitofalili mentions lost girls and forests, @LynetteNoni talks about Fremantle Prison’s underground tunnels #AllDayYA #LoveOzYA #SydneyWritersFestival

#LoveOzYA's Poppy Solomon (@poppys_pages) chatted to author Tegan Bennett Daylight about her latest YA novel dubbed an 'anti-Lord of the Flies'. Watch here https://t.co/NLhQSCbwkA #Royals #TeganBennettDaylight

One of the things we love most about reading homegrown Australian YA is recognising familiar places in books or learning about new ones. This month's Book List takes your around the country on an epic reading road trip around Australia. #LoveOzYA https://t.co/PLUnQvscYz
