A clutch of YA authors read at this year’s Eden Mills Writers’ Festival on Sept. 8. (Photos by Clare Hitchens/EMWF)

Drew Hayden Taylor reads to the crowd, while author Emily Pohl-Weary (in Terminator shades) waits for her turn to read.

Laura Langston commandeers the lectern, as Pohl-Weary continues to wait patiently.

At last! Pohl-Weary brandishes her book in triumph.

Edeet Ravel reads while apparently being held aloft by Brian Doyle .

Christine Walde gets her turn as Doyle rests.

Doyle continues to demonstrate his strength by holding aloft a copy of his new book.
