Summer YALovin

Start your Summer off right with epic fun and lots of fabulous prizes.

When I say epic, I mean 140 authors from An Alliance of Young Adult Authors EPIC.  The starting flag wave is June. You’ll get to meet great YA authors and have the chance to win great prizes from each author. The grand prize is pretty epic too.  Here’s a heads-up for how to hunt like a scavenger.

(WARNING: this scavenger hunt may blow your mind and could lead to an addiction of authors and their books.)

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 this order, write down the special keywords to discover the short story, then enter the giveaway with the completed short story HERE.

There will be one main giveaway for the main prize, but most of the participating authors will also have smaller giveaways for free books, Amazon credit, and author swag, so make sure you read their post carefully to see what else they’re offering while you’re on their site for the keyword.
