Presented by: Liam Adams

Liam is a 22 year old writer of science fiction and fantasy, and a cartoonist. Liam has Autism and Intellectual Disability. Liam started his business in August 2022 called Everyone Needs A Liam, selling at markets like ComicCon. He has self published four novels:
• Papers through the Hollows (No 1 in the Librarian Saga)
• Shifting Dimensions (a stand alone epic)
• The Lost Humans (No 2 in the Librarian Saga)
• System of Trees (No 3 in the Librarian Saga)
Liam’s stories are full of imaginative characters, colourful worlds, and unexpected plot twists – with a lot of comedy! He says his characters are ‘misfits’ going on ‘misadventures’. His stories are incredibly visual and full of cliff hangers, but all with good humour. You shake your head and think “How did he think of that?”

Note that Liam speaks well on his topics however he does have some difficulty with his diction due to his own disabilities of Autism and Intellectual Disability
