You 2.0 blog launches July 6th!

Stay tuned to this space for the official launch of the You 2.0 blog on Monday, July 6th!

I’ll have great interviews with authors, teen librarians, booksellers, YA book bloggers, and industry pros like agents and editors. (Check out the boxes on the right for upcoming special guests!) Plus you’ll get a sneak peek at the super secret “writing caves” of some fabulous authors.

And if you’re a writer (or a teacher!), be sure to stay tuned for the Tuesday Teen Author Challenge! I’ll be sharing loads of writing tips from your favorite YA and middle grades authors, interviews with authors who sold young, how-to tidbits on craft and the business of writing, and links to great resources for aspiring writers. It’s one-stop shopping for teen writers (or writers of any age who love teen fiction)!

See you back here tomorrow!

    Great idea, Kay. I think that the Friday Spotlights sound like a lot of fun. I especially like that you’re featuring such a variety of people!

    I’ve added You 2.0 to my Google Reader!

I’m the author of YA fiction that I wish was based on my real life. My upcoming
THE CINDERELLA SOCIETY is about a secret society of good populars dedicated to defeating the mean girls of the world. Do you have what it takes to be a Cindy?
