[Brynna Gabrielson]

Hi there!

My name is Brynna and I'm an aspring YA writer with dreams of also working as an editor or agent one day. I just graduated university with a major in creative writing (minor in buisness) and I'm so nervous/excited about trying to get my feet off the ground with my writing. I'm also incredibly excited I found this awesome place. I can't believe I didn't hear about it sooner. Anyways, I write a ton within the YA genre. The first novel I finished was paranormal/fantasy, although at the moment I'm heavily considering a huge rewrite on that one, and I have another finished novel that's a romantic comedy! That's the one I'm going to be putting out there asap. I can't wait to explore this place further and get to know lots of you.

Hi All! I've been following #yalitchat on twitter and am excited to dive into the community! I write YA fantasy and just finished my first MS as my thesis in the MFA in writing popular fiction at Seton Hill University (which I love and will probably refer shamelessly). Now that I'm starting to query, I want to get online and meet fine folks like you who can appreciate the torture : ) Hope to connect with many of you soon!

Hi, everyone! I've been stalking the site for a couple months and just officially joined. I'm looking forward to making new friends. Got a brand new YA story to write and anxious to find an agent for my recent YA ms.

In short, I need all the help I can get. But I am also eager to help others in any way I can. :)

[Sheri Larsen]

Hi girl! So glad you've joined us. I'll friend you. Yay!
