YALLWEST VIP MEGAPASS
Can't decide which event to attend on Saturday? See 'em all. Buy a VIP pass and for the same price as attending three panels, you'll also get this:
--A separate entrance line to all ticketed events, plus house seats in the "Reserved" section of Barnum Hall. (First come, first served within reserved section.)
--An exclusive VIP festival t-shirt (custom "tagger" logo designed by Los Angeles artist Jesse Simon) not sold anywhere, only given to our VIP author panelists as a thank you for taking the stage at our fest. TRANSLATION: PRICELESS.
--Plus the usual ticketing deal: either a $5 food truck voucher, YALLWEST tote, or a $5 donation to Santa Monica Libraries.

YALLWEST AM KEYNOTE: RANSOM RIGGS TALKS BIG
Brought to you by Quirk Books
#1 New York Times Bestseller Ransom Riggs (MISS PEREGRINE'S HOME FOR PECULIAR CHILDREN, HOLLOW CITY) opens the first annual YALLWEST Festival in Santa Monica.
Ransom Riggs will be joined by the super cool & award-winning Samohi Jazz Band. If you're really lucky, we'll talk Ransom into sharing one of his super cool & should-have-been-award-winning short films with us as well. (We really don't know why they're having that Tim Burton guy shoot Miss Peregrine's but whatever.) Either way, let's just say you're in for a heck of a keynote ride.
YALLWEST PM TEANOTE: TEA WITH MARIE & V
Presented by Penguin Teen
Join New York Times bestselling author Marie Lu (LEGEND, PRODIGY, CHAMPION, THE YOUNG ELITES) for an afternoon keynote (or is that tea note?) as she tells all her innermost secrets (or not) to fellow New York Times Bestseller Veronica Roth (THE DIVERGENT TRILOGY AND THE DIVERGENT & INSURGENT FILMS).
Sheesh. Even the tea is probably a bestseller.
YALLWEST ALL-STAR SMACKDOWN & TIGER BEAT FINALE
Always our most fun & most popular YALLFEST event, the YA SMACKDOWN comes to the Best Coast for the first time ever. This all-star jam brings our entire cast of featured authors on stage at once, with only a few party-poopery exceptions.
Don't be surprised if you see YA & MG headliners like Richelle Mead, Veronica Roth, Ransom Riggs, Marie Lu, Ann Brashares, E. Lockhart, Lisi Harrison, Tahereh Mafi, Melissa de la Cruz, Kami Garcia, Margaret Stohl, Pseudonymous Bosch, Marissa Meyer, Leigh Bardugo - and many more - join Shannon Hale & Aaron Hartlzer in onstage mayhem. Root for your favorites in what is guaranteed to be the funniest (and most embarrassing) hour of the festival. This one is a DON'T MISS.
Wrapping things up will be a mind-melting, roof-blowing performance by all-author band Tiger Beat, featuring Printz-winning, bestselling Libba Bray (THE DIVINERS) along with authors Daniel Ehrenhaft, Barnabas Miller, and Natalie Standiford. If you're lucky, you'll be doing the Time Warp with Lib (not to mention 50+ awkward authors) in the very near future.
