The tour called ***New Day New Normal*** features three ground-breaking writers dealing with a range of once taboo subjects to critical and commercial acclaim.

The authors are **David Levithan**, (*Every Day* and *Another Day*); **Lisa Williamson**, (*The Art of Being Normal*); and Sunday Independent Newcomer of the Year **Louise O’Neill**, (*Only Ever Yours*). All three authors will be in conversation, chaired by **James Gilmore** of Wizard Radio.

**Gary Deane, Waterstones Events Manager, said;** *“We’re thrilled to be offering our customers such a remarkable opportunity to hear three such talented authors speak about their work. It’s exciting to see the variety of topics that YA fiction is beginning to cover in more depth and we’re pleased to see publishers working together to bring such great events to readers.”*

The New Day New Normal tour comes to Brighton on Wednesday, August 19, 7.30pm at Waterstones, Brighton, 71-74 North Street.
