Authors Live: Sarah Crossan at Edinburgh International Book Festival

Join bestselling author Sarah Crossan in this special Authors Live event in partnership with the Edinburgh International Book Festival.

Sarah Crossan is widely regarded as one of YA’s most compelling voices. Her free-verse novels – including the heart-wrenching One – have won the Carnegie Medal, YA Book Prize, and countless other awards. In this special event, Sarah talks about Where the Heart Should Be: a moving story about love, hope, and family, set during The Great Hunger in 1840s Ireland. Hear the author share why she believes we can – and should – all love poetry and get some tips on how to write your own.
