Heather Howland told me about this group, and I'm very excited to join! I'm starting my first YA paranormal next week. Woot. Until now, I've written fairly gritty, dark paranromal, so I'm nervous about how much grit translates well to YA. *crossing fingers*

Georgia...I LOVE your NING and #YALITCHAT!

I do have a question and would like some advice. I am writing a YA novel (3rd person) from the POV of the two main characters. Is it okay to have two POV or should I reduce it to one?

Thanks!

Hello! I'm excited I found this site! It looks like a great place to connect with other writers. I write edgy YA contemporary and my first book just went out on submission yesterday. I've already gotten three requests so keep your fingers crossed!

I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone. I'm working on a YA Paranormal and most of my previous experience has been with RWA. I'm looking forward to experiencing more of the YA world. I'm considering entering the contest. I might even try this Twitter chat thing. That's right, don't know anything about Twitter. I did finally join Facebook this year. :)

This is so great. I just happen upon the site by accident. I love writing YA and looking forward to a real learning experience here. Thank you soooooo much.

Thanks, Georgia! Looking forward to getting to know this place. :)

[Karla Treinen]

Thanks very much, Georgia! I'm slowly constructing this beast called a "web presence" and count myself very lucky to have virtually bumped into you early on. I enjoy YA lit chat and kid lit chat very much. I'm on the IASCBWI listserve, which gives me a chance to stay connected with the people I've met in Iowa. This is a way to reach even further. I appreciate the time it takes to make this happen. You're awesome...just ask anybody.
Take care,
Karla

I'm really, really excited about this group. I guess this is a bit of a late introduction since I've been a member for about a month now, but hello everyone! :D
