Her favorite things in life: her super smart/artsy engineer husband, her precious kiddos, lots and lots of coffee (current fave=dark chocolate mocha from Caribou), writing (of course!), reading loads of young adult books (and listening to audiobooks in the car), spin class, traveling, and watching cheesy lifetime movies, teen dramas, and reality tv (the various real housewives and Big Brother being her faves).

When not working her day job as a young adult librarian (she tweets at @bmlkidsteens) or writing her novels, Deena can be found in step aerobics class, baking gluten-free recipes, traveling (especially to foreign and tropical places), and reading like crazy (anything she can get her hands on, including books to review for VOYA). She lives in Western NY with her husband. Read her book reviews at http://deenaml.livejournal.com/.
Emily Marshall (Miss Querlylicious) has wanted to write books for as long as she could remember. She just always thought she'd write non-fiction. When she realized she wasn't a celebrity, didn't have a platform, and wasn't particularly knowledgeable on any subject, she decided writing chick-lit for teens might be easy. Sadly, she was mistaken. Now she enjoys writing it so much, however, that she can't stop, and until she develops extensive knowledge on any one subject, she's going to continue. Emily is currently writing her third novel and looking for agents for her second novel: Don't Ask Ally. She lives in Michigan with her scientist/guitar-playing husband and loves teen movies, watching way too much TV, traveling, and playing board games. She also loves online mail and friends, so feel free to visit her at http://www.emilymarshall.com/.
Kate Fall (Miss Perfecting the Pages) started writing fiction in seventh grade, when her teacher read her funny story to the class and everyone laughed at the right parts. She got serious about writing MG and YA six years ago, writes short stories and novels, and is currently revising a science fiction novel. She also freelances as an editor, ghostwriter, promotional writer, and manuscript (slush) reader. She lives in Western NY with her husband, daughter, son, large Newfoundland, and demon kitten. Follow her on Twitter @katefall.
Megg Jensen (Miss Enchanted ePubber), a former freelance parenting journalist who specialized in fascinating topics like baby poop, wrote her first masterpiece at the age of seven and continued spinning stories for the next *cough* years. Even though she grew up on an idyllic farm, she lives in the Chicago suburbs with her hubby, two kidlets, and their miniature schnauzer, Ace. Megg's novels include the Cloud Prophet Trilogy and The Swarm Trilogy. She's proud to be a co-founder of DarkSide Publishing, a member of SCBWI, and a natural redhead. You can visit her on Facebook, Twitter, or her blog.
