We're so happy to welcome three fantastic authors for our Young Adults Pride panel!

All three will discuss their new publications, the importance of representation in YA fiction, answer your questions and sign copies of their books.

Simon James Green is the author of Alex in Wonderland, Heartbreak Boys and Noah Can't Even. His newest novel, Gay Club, charts the journey from small-town school LGBT society to national gay glory.

William Hussey has written Hideous Beauty and more recently The Outrage, where a dystopian, authoritarian Britain persecutes and discriminates minorities and where being gay can cost your life.

Benjamin Dean debutes in YA after his younger readers bestseller Me, My Dad and the End of the Rainbow. The King is Dead is a Black LGBTQ+ royal reimagining full of scandalous secrets and rollercoaster romances.


We want to ensure this event is accessible to everyone who wants to attend, whilst ensuring the essential costs can be covered. No one will be turned away due to lack of funds or if it is uncomfortable for any personal reason, especially for our underage readers, and if this is a barrier for you please email events.bristolgalleries@waterstones.com
