Introducing The Contemps!
We're a group of YA authors with contemporary novels releasing over the course of a year. We are
passionate about realistic fiction because these are the books that remind us we're not alone in this real
world. Our mission is simple - to spotlight contemporary fiction for young adults through blog posts,
author events, and (over)sharing from our teen years.
We hope you'll help us spread the word to readers about our group! We have fun things planned on the
site all year long, including a contest going on NOW through November 15, 2010.
Take the Challenge!
Take the challenge - read 18 of our 21 books and enter to win all 21 of our books! The contest is open
to anyone age 13 - 113! Visit the "Get Involved" page at www.thecontemps.com for more information.
