Blog Launch! And Giveaways!

Welcome to the launch of Brave New Words, the blog of YA sci-fi authors debuting in 2012! Come back for weekly features such as Agent Stories where we relate the sometimes arduous journeys that brought us from being lonely writers pounding away in dark corners to finally getting The Call, cover reveals, things we've learned on the path, and other topics of miscellany and mayhem.

To celebrate our launch, we're giving shout-outs to the writers who are going before us, two delicious recent sci-fi/dystopian debuts: Wither by Lauren DeStefano and Possession by Elana Johnson!



To enter, please COMMENT IN THE SPACE BELOW with your name, email address, and add up your points:
+1 for Following (also, we've noticed our sidebar FOLLOW button is being kind of wonky in Internet Explorer, but it works fine if you use Firefox or another browser)
+1 for Tweeting about the Giveaway
+1 for Blogging about the Giveaway

Open to US residents only. Contest ends June 20th!
