Location: The Wheeler Centre

Acclaimed author Patrick Ness explores his diverse body of work and what it means to write across genres.

Patrick Ness is one of the most prolific and celebrated writers in contemporary fantasy and genre fiction. With a career spanning award-winning young adult novels like The Knife of Never Letting Go and A Monster Calls to adult fiction and screenwriting, Ness continues to push the boundaries of storytelling. In this special evening at The Wheeler Centre, Ness will take a broad look at his varied career, from his earliest novels to his latest release, Chronicles of a Lizard Nobody—his first foray into middle grade fiction.

Ness is joined by science fiction and fantasy author Amie Kaufman for an in-depth conversation reflecting on his creative process, the challenges of writing for different audiences and his experience adapting his work for film.
