Award-winning YA novelist Leah Johnson will share about her experience as an author, advocate, and owner of the independent bookstore Loudmouth Books.

Born and raised in central Indiana--a tried and true, lifelong Hoosier--Leah Johnson is author of award-winning books for children and young adults. She began her writing career in fifth grade with a spiral notebook full of short stories & that love of storytelling eventually carried her to an MFA in fiction writing. Her bestselling debut YA novel, You Should See Me in a Crown, was a Stonewall Honor Book, and the inaugural Reese's Book Club YA pick. When she's not writing, you can find her at at Loudmouth Books, her Indianapolis-based independent bookstore that specializes in highlighting the work of marginalized authors and uplifting banned or challenged books. 

Leah Johnson's visit is made possible by the Eugene and Marilyn Glick Indiana Authors Awards, Powered by Indiana Humanities.

Space is limited. Register to receive event reminders.  Accessibility needs? Our theater offers wheelchair seating and assistive listening devices.  Please contact ask@acpl.info if you have additional needs - we’d love to help.
