A group of dystopian novelists have come together to create the coolest blog: League of Extraordinary Writers.
The five writers include:
Beth Revis- Her sci fi, Across the Universe, is coming out in Spring 2011 from Razorbill.
Julia Karr- Her title is XVI, about a society that forces couple to get together on their "sex"-tenth birthday.
Angie Smibert- Her novel, Memento Nora, is about a world where people elect to erase bad memories.
Jeff Hirsch- His debut, The Long Walk Home, is set after the apocalypse.
Cool books huh?
And you know what's even cooler? They're having a rocking contest. Stolen from their blog:
This month, we're giving away a SIGNED copy of Rick Yancey's MONTRUMOLOGIST (did I mention it won the Printz Honor?) and a SIGNED copy of Carrie Ryan's THE FOREST OF HANDS AND TEETH and signed bookmarks by PJ Hoover and Maria Snyder and a signed magnet by Stacey Jay! Monsters and magic and zombies, oh my!
So go check it out!

Thanks for blogging about it, Christy!
I am SO excited about it!
(And whoops! I misspelled Angie's book--it's titled MEMENTO NORA.)
Beth- It is exciting! I fixed her title. Sorry Angie!
I just found out about this. So exciting (both for us readers and for them as writers).
Thanks for sharing, Christina!
Thanks for sharing the link! I'm in my way to check it out now. Hope you're having a great week so far!
I will! Thanks for the info!
I'll stop by. I've been meaning to read dystopian books. I have some on my wish list and TBR pile at home, but I haven't gotten to them yet.
Oh how exciting. All of these books sound amazing. Off to check it out in a moment.
By the way, I wrote you back on my Bea's post with the link!! I hope it works and thanks for the enthusiasm. It's a great site.
