- Books
Will Kostakis has published three hugely popular YA novels to date, reinventing himself on each occasion. Proactively engaging with his audience of teenagers facing an uncertain future, Will talks about his media-darling rise, humbling fall and literary resurrection; coming out mid press tour; the value of a tortured teen diary; the debate between gay, too gay and not gay enough; and the power of teachers in shaping the identity of young people. With a self-deprecating wit and laugh capable of blowing the doors off, Will Kostakis is carving an important niche in the YA market. His latest book The Sidekicks is available in stores and currently set to conquer the United States.
