Please join GYOPO for Korean American Young Adult Fiction Today, a family friendly reading and panel discussion at the Japanese American Cultural & Community Center.

Featuring Young Adult authors Mary H.K. Choi (Yolk, 2021), Sarah Suk (Made in Korea, 2021), David Yoon (Frankly in Love, 2019), and Nicola Yoon (Instructions for Dancing, 2021), the event is a culmination of GYOPO’s collaboration with local youth reading groups organized by Los Angeles partners including the Koreatown Youth and Community Center. The event will include live reading of excerpts from selected titles, a panel discussion with featured authors, moderated by Amy Kahng, followed by small group discussions with authors led by Youth volunteers.

Korean American Young Adult Fiction Today is free and open to the public, and American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation will be available to our audience. Light refreshments will be provided.
