Hi there! Welcome to your cabin. Everyone here writes young adult fiction: that is, fiction written for teenagers. (Though many adults read YA, too!) Introduce yourself! Here are some ideas to get you started: - Your name
- The genre you write
- Your blog, website, or page
- Your Twitter handle
- Your favorite YOUNG ADULT book
- Why you write
- What you do besides writing
Please do not share any private information. Remember, this is a public forum, and while we hope everyone here is stable and kind, no one can make that guarantee.When more than one writer in your cabin writes your genre, I'll open up a campfire specifically for your genre. At campfires, you can find critique partners and share book recommendations and comp titles in your genre. If you have any questions pertaining to writing, drafting, revising, or getting published, please ask those questions in the appropriate forums. Have fun!

Name: Kristina
Genre: YA Fantasy, though may possibly write Adult at some point.
No blog =)
Twitter: @polishadore
Favorite YOUNG ADULT book: So hard to choose just one, but if I HAD to choose, I'd probably pick Fallen Kingdoms by Morgan Rhodes (and its sequels equally) or Angelfall by Susan Ee (and its sequels).
Why you write: I've always been creative, and writing was one of the first creative outlets I had even though it was way before I realized that's what I was doing. It's always what came naturally. I was that crazy kid in school who liked doing reports.
Besides writing I: Play violin when it's not broken (this is seriously hurting my soul), trying to teach myself the piano, and wrangling my army of rabbits.

Your name: Jade The genre you write: Sci-Fi when I'm in YA mode. Fantasy/Sci-fi if I'm in Adulting mode. Your blog, website, or page: jadewritesbooks.wordpress.com/Your Twitter handle: jadewritesbooks (you may have noticed a theme) Your favorite YOUNG ADULT book: Cracked by Eliza Crewe. It made me cry, and not every book can do that. Why you write: It's all I've ever done, like it's coded in my DNA. I've written stories since I was about 3. What you do besides writing: Tarot reading, cooking, baking, yoga, cat-momma duties, and dream of travelling.
