YA Writing Contest for YA Writers
My author friend Ripley Patton is having a YA writing contest to celebrate the release of her YA novel, Ghost Hand, which is coming out in November. If you are a young adult who writes YA, you could win cash and be published in the sequel to Ghost Hand.
You must be a young adult (ages 13 - 19) to enter the contest. Check out the deets here and good luck to everyone who enters.
