All YA contests (book giveaways, agent crits, query, etc.)
Since so many contests are popping up to win ARCs, I thought I would start a thread about them, and encourage people to post links if they run across any. If you do post a link, just make sure you include the deadline.



New Contest in post #9

Mod Note: I am making this the official thread for all contests you want to announce about YA-related topics.

Sorry! I should have explained. It's an advance reader copy, or some people say advanced release copy. They are sent out a few months before the official release date to reviewers, etc. Authors usually get some as well, and can dole them out as they please.

Just wondering.

Stephanie Burgis is doing an ARC give-away of her debut novel, A Most Improper Magick, which will be published by Atheneum on 20 April 2010.

It's a fantasy set in Regency England, featuring cross-dressing girls, highwaymen and magical mirrors. If this sounds like your cup of tea, then check out Stephenie's website here, which will gives a better description of the book and a sneaky peeky of the first chapter.

And if all that's got your chomping at the bit to try and get your hands on an ARC, then check out Stephanie's LJ here and follow her instructions for how to enter the contest.
