It's the Second Annual YALitChat, Made From Awesome Event!


We are so excited to be sponsoring another fabulous YALitChat mega chat! Last year it was a HUGE success and a lot of fun as we chatted with Holly Black, Michelle Zink, Scott Westefeld, Kami Garcia, Cassandra Clare, Bree Despain, James Dashner, Sarah Rees Brennan, Melissa Marr, A.S. King, Becca Fitzpatrick, Lisa McMann, Ellen Hopkins, Margaret Stohl, Carrie Ryan and Alyson Noel. Be sure to hop over here to MM's after the chats for the mega fun after chat parties! It's your chance to continue talking to your favorite authors and enter to win some cool stuff! You can read more about last year's chat here and read the transcript here.

Here's what we have in store for this year-

We’ll have giveaways, virtual popcorn and loads of fun. It’s a celebration of YA on twitter and you’ll be a memorable part of the second annual event! And just like last year–one night isn’t big enough, so we’ve got two! That’s right, YALITCHATTERS, mark your calendars because April 13th AND 14th we’re having a party and it’s MADE FROM AWESOME! This year our giveaways include books, beauty products, promotional bags and other swag! YES! We are excited! Notice all the exclamation points! And did we mention this year’s line-up?

This year we have all new authors and two more fabulous sites who are also sponsoring the chat, Novel Novice and Bookalicious. This year each of the three sponsors will be featuring select authors, who will be on the chat, on each of our blogs. Here's the authors we'll be featuring leading up to the Mega Chat.
A HUGE thank you goes to Georgia McBride who's the mastermind behind YALitChat and the Made From Awesome Chats. To learn more about YALitChat or to join the Ning, please visit them here.
