Woohoo! I’m excited to be part of the massive YA summer scavenger hunt coming up in June, sponsored by the Alliance of Young Adult Authors. If you’re a fan of YA fiction, this is your chance to meet some new authors, grab a bunch of free books, and enter to win a whole load of epic prizes!
RULES
Each author will be given a special keyword, which will be bolded and all caps like this: BUTTERFLIES.
All you have to do is visit all the author’s sites in the order shown below, write down the special keywords to discover the short story, then enter the giveaway with the completed short story HERE (link will be posted soon).
There will be one main giveaway for the overall prize, but many of the participating authors will have smaller giveaways for free books, gift cards, and swag, so make sure you read each post carefully to see what else each author is offering while you’re on their site looking for the special keyword.
