A new group of authors has joined together to help promote their YA contemporary reads.

The Contemps

Their mission:

to help teens, booksellers, librarians and publishers connect with books that feature true-to-life settings, characters, and situations.

 

Their plans for this new site are to  host some giveaways, share (and in some cases, over share) real life experiences from their own teen years, spotlight other contemporary realistic authors, blog about related topics, and participate in multi-author events across the country.
