Mei Yu was the keynote speaker for Vancouver Public Library (VPL)'s Writing and Book Camp 2025. She talked
about her art journey, the creation process behind her award-winning debut graphic novel memoir
Lost & Found: Based on a True Story, voice acted part of her book, and hosted a
fun, creative activity.
Mei Yu had the great pleasure to meet all you participants and chat with and autograph for some of you. Hope this event inspires you to achieve your own goals!
Thank you to the VPL and the wonderful organizers, staff members, counsellors, and volunteers, as well as the Writing and Book Camp for promoting the love of writing, books, and creativity!
