AYA: Aussie YA Alliance

So the Gum Leaf Mafia or as Lisa, Allie and I like to call ourselves, the Aussie YA Alliance are hitting the blogosphere.

What is the AYA?
Three Aussie YA bloggers that have united to create one place to find reviews of Australian produced YA literature, book release information, AYA Book Club, interviews and other assorted awesomeness.

Who is the AYA?
Lisa from Look at that Book
and moi....Adele from Persnickety Snark.

What's Coming...?
How to Ditch Your Fairy by Justine Larbalestier will be our first highlighted book. The AYA will be book club-ing it and posting our discussion as well as our reviews. We also have an interview with Justine in the coming weeks.

Aussie Authors
John Green said it - "...there are so many amazing young adult novelists working in Australia" and the AYA believe that it's time everyone got acquainted with them! We will spotlight one author each month while posting reviews for many other authors. The spotlighted author's newest release will be the subject of our monthly book club and hopefully an interview.

International Authors
We will announce the Australian release dates of international authors as well as post the Australian cover art. We would be ecstatic to interview international authors about the Australian release of their book. Primarily though, the AYA are about Aussie content.

Contests
They will be happening, bet your bottom dollar.
