Will Kostakis
Will Kostakis is an award-winning author for young adults. He released his first novel at nineteen (and it is, mercifully, out of print).
His contemporary novels, The First Third and The Sidekicks, warmed (then broke) hearts the world over.
His latest, We Could Be Something is a sweeping family epic about falling in and out of love.
An advocate for young readers and writers, Will was awarded the 2020 Maurice Saxby Award by the School Library Association of New South Wales for service to children’s and young adult literature.
