2. Book Chic and Chasing Blue



Book Chic shows off Chasing Blue, the note I wrote to him in sparkly blue AND talks about our summer plans to stalk our author friend Maggie Stiefvater. Maggie has likely already hired security to thwart our plans.

Check out the first two a half minutes of the video to catch that. Thanks, BC! :) YOU ROCK!

3. Sleepless contest and more


Book Chic, the coolest guy in the blogosphere, has been kind enough to host me this week as the Fresh New Voice of YA where I blogged about dreams, gave an interview and discussed upcoming projects. Lastly, he gave Sleepless a glowing review that made me giddy. Together we're giving away an autographed copy of Sleepless and a dream catcher necklace, so stop on by and show him some love. :)

4. Win FREE Books

Even though we sometimes get upset stomachs thinking about reviews, and
checks of review websites often happen with one hand over our eyes,
debut authors LOVE Book Reviewers. They are our very first,
out-in-the-real-world feedback and if we're lucky they might be our
very first fans. There is nothing quite like the thrill of reading a
good review, and even if the review is not always so good, we still
appreciate you getting word about our books out to the public! No
really, we do.

Ever wonder who does the reviews at ALAN Online, , Teens Read Too, , YA (& Kids) Books Central
 The Edge of the Forest  , Fuse #8 , Reviewer X , Off to Turn Another Page, Book Chic, Slayground,
 Reader Rabbit  and many other places?

They're usually the ones who interview us, but for one week we turn the
tables on several YA & MG book reviewers and ask them the hard
questions! We even tackle bad reviews. You don't want to miss one
answer!

Please check out the Class of 2k8's blog for the Book Reviewer Hot
Seat
!

And if that isn't enough, we're giving away Class of 2K8 
books--Two-A-Day! So please visit our blog be sure to leave comments after each interview and you could win!
(Deadline to enter is midnight June 29th, winners will be announced on Monday June 30th)

5. Day 3: Up Close and Online with Daphene Grab

One of the many awesome things about getting my book published has been discovering the on-line kidlit community. I think a lot of people know about this community before selling their first book but I lack internet savvy and so it was a wonderful surprise for me. My first discovery was the wonderful Fuse#8 , which is the perfect starting point since she is the center of everything kidlit. Her blog lead me to favorites like Seven Impossible Things Before Breakfast and Bookshelves of Doom, as well as clueing me in to some great new books.

MySpace lead me to some great YA review blogs, like BookChic, And Another Book Read and the Compulsive Reader. It also lead me to a bunch of author sites. I follow a lot of author blogs now but my favorites are Meg Cabot’s and The Disco Mermaids. I also love blogs of people breaking into the business, like the wonderful Debbi Michiko Florence and Hip Writer Mama.

For years I was embarrassed to be an adult who read kid books. I thought I was the only one and I’d hide the covers of my books when I read on the subway, stuffing my latest YA favorite into my backpack so fast that no one could see that the thirty-something woman across the aisle was reading a book for teens. But now I’m part of this incredible community that loves kid books as much as I do. I know there are thousands of us around the country, reading and loving our teen and MG books. I now display my books with pride, and smile when I see that people are reading over my shoulder. Who wouldn’t want to read over my shoulder when I’m in the middle of BRALESS IN WONDERLAND or the latest Sarah Dessen?!

What I love the most about all these sites is how warm and open people are. This business could be so competitive and mean but instead it’s a group of people bound together by a love of kidlit, who are thrilled to discover another new book by another new author. Which is pretty much a dream come true for this new author!
