Hey, y'all! I have exciting news!
I've started up a YA event directory, YA Happenings.
You can visit it youngadultevents.blogspot.com
I got tired of missing YA events near me and never being able to find any to attend. So I decided to make a directory to try to prevent this from happening for myself and other YA fans.
I'm counting on the community to help me keep it up to date. If you know of an event, please tell me! You can tweet me, email me at the YA Happenings email, or submit it with the contact form.
I'd be forever grateful!
There's also a Google calendar with all events.
Thanks so much for the support you've already shown.
I'm so excited to connect YA readers to their favorite authors!
And now, a giveaway! I'm giving away two 2015 YA pre-orders, open internationally.
Ah what a fantastic idea!!! You are amazing!!! *sending you mountains of hugs!*
ReplyDeleteThank you! :D
DeleteI miss so many events too so I love this idea so much! Thanks for putting it together :)
ReplyDeleteMe too! I hope it prevents that from happening to both of us!

ReplyDeleteYou're welcome!
DeleteThis is such a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI thought so too!
DeleteThanks for the giveaway! The only ya event I know is Comic Con in San Diego in the summer. :)
ReplyDeleteAn upcoming event I'll be attending and am super excited for is at Odyssey Books in South Hadley MA on April 25 at 4:00! Nova Ren Suma will be there signing THE WALLS AROUND US, Lance Rubin will be there signing DENTON'S LITTLE DEATH DATE, and Tommy Wallach will be there signing WE ALL LOOKED UP.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Elizabeth! I added it to the calendar! :D
Deletei don't know about any ya event
ReplyDeleteI am sadly not in the know of YA events. I would love to attend one though. I live in a smaller town and we don't get anything like that here that I know of at least. Thank you so much for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh this is such a fantastic idea! Thank you so much for putting this together! I am always checking my favorite author pages for updates on their events! So it's awesome to have it all in one place like this!
ReplyDeleteIt's not only YA but it's the LA Festival of Books is on April 18 & 19! And I'm really excited because i'm going to finally finally meet Sarah Dessen who is my favorite author ever!
DeleteNot sure what is coming up.
ReplyDeleteI don't, I'm sorry, but thank you for your awesome giveaway. :)
ReplyDeleteSince I live in Belgium I don't really know about any events. But thanks for hosting this giveaway (Jamie Coudeville in the rafflecopter)
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea! I'm pretty far removed from all book events, let alone YA ones, but I know there's one in Kirkland, WA (which was just cancelled....boo). So this will definitely be a good resource- thanks!
ReplyDeleteThis is an awesome thing to do. A friend and I was just talking the other day about how we wish there was some place to find out about events.
ReplyDeleteNo,I don't know :/,but the idea is great!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great giveaway :)

An Ember in the Ashes
I live in Europe, and don't know of any happenings close by
ReplyDeletei live in south carolina, and there aren't a lot of YA events near me. The only one that I can think of is Y'allFest in Charleston near the end of the year. Thanks for the giveaway!
