Teen Read Week

Love YA? Dying to get know a few great authors better? Now is your chance!

Our client, Blink YA Books, a teen division of HarperCollins, is celebrating Teen Read Week in serious style.

October 18 – 24 fans will have a chance to connect with authors about writing, reading and, of course, young adult books!

On the Blink Teen Read Week Digital Tour you can join authors for a Twitter Chat or watch them live chat in a Google Hangout. For a few select schools, students will even have some of the authors Skyping in for a visit!

WHAT’S TEEN READ WEEK?
