Young adult fiction can empower, educate and inspire future generations, but when writing about challenging issues, such as climate change, child trafficking, and racial discrimination, YA writers must decide how to strike a crucial balance. Our writers discuss how they explore heavy topics whilst conveying the ever-important message that a brighter future is possible.

Fiksi remaja dapat mendorong, mendidik, dan menginspirasi generasi muda, tetapi ketika menulis tentang isu-isu yang menantang, seperti perubahan iklim, perdagangan anak, dan diskriminasi rasial, penulis fiksi remaha harus memutuskan bagaimana mencapai keseimbangan yang penting. Para penulis mendiskusikan bagaimana mereka mengeksplorasi topik-topik berat dengan menyampaikan pesan penting bahwa masa depan yang lebih cerah adalah sangat mungkin diraih.
