<\/a>Happy Tuesday!
\nOne of my favorite Blog Blast Tour stops yesterday was Crazy Quilt Edi’s interview with<\/a> Randa Abdel-Fattah, she of “Does My Head Look Big In This”<\/a> authorial fame. Do drop by and give her interview a read. Nalo Hopkinson is an award-winning SFF author and I haven’t yet read her books!!!!<\/i>. So exciting to find someone new to me – and who is talking diversity<\/a> over at Doret’s Happy Nappy blog. I always love the SBBT for giving me so many new authors and books to track down. <\/p>\n

Today’s schedule has a stop I’m especially interested in – YS Lee @ The YA YA YA’s<\/a>. Her historical mysteries have received nothing but praise from the kidlitosphere readers, and I CANNOT WAIT to get my hands on her books! (It’s so nice to be back in the states for that very reason – quick library\/bookstore access.) Master Schedule @ Colleen’s<\/a> as always.<\/p>\n

Summer Reading<\/b>… but some also ought to get on with the writing! Readers who are also writers will be interested in these opportunities – hat tip to InkyGirl.<\/a><\/p>\n

Futuredaze: An Anthology of YA Science Fiction<\/a> seeks fiction and poetry for teens, young adults and the young at heart. Pays $200\/story, $25\/poem. Deadline: June 30, 2012.
\nYA steampunk (SQUEE!) anthology seeks submissions<\/a> (via Mindy Hardwick). Deadline: Sept.1\/2012.
\nIndie publisher Buzz Books seeks YA short stories for a new monthly Mythology High series<\/a>. 3000-4500 words.<\/p>\n

Three words: feminist speculative fiction.<\/a> Say yes to a new anthology.<\/p>\n

YOU KNOW YOU WANT THIS:<\/b> Tor has released FIERCE READS<\/b><\/a>, an original collection of short stories by a group of YA authors. They’re online at Tor.com, but you can also upload them to your e-reader – for free – because they’re cool like that.<\/p>\n

Enjoy your day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
