This event is for anyone who shares a passion for science-fiction, fantasy, space, aliens and monsters.

For those eager to take home a piece of Liam's literary world, his books will be available for purchase, with accessible PDFs for those who rely on screen readers. Plus, there will be a dedicated Q&A session, offering you the chance to connect with Liam and delve deeper into his creative process.

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?”

This Event will be held in the dark to allow the stars to shine above. The AusLan interpreter and Liam will be lit by a lamp light at the front. Note: Liam speaks well however he does have some difficulty with his diction due to his own disability
