DONATED PRIZE: Query and First Chapter Critique
Fiona McLaren spends her life torn between the sun-drenched island of Cyprus where she lives, and the windswept hills of Scotland where she grew up. Despite the numerous beaches, pina coladas and water sports close to her home (jealous yet?!), Fiona still manages to squirrel herself away into a dark corner in order to write and read a ridiculous quantity of YA books.
She is a fan of all things YA, but especially dark, gritty contemporary work, fantasy and horror. However, she also loves light sci-fi and fantasy MGs. If it has a teen or pre-teen, then it is sure to grab her attention.
Fiona can most commonly be found writing about dark, edgy issues and prying into the places that other people look away from. She is represented by the amazing Jamie Bodnar Drowley of Inklings Literary Agency.

Dahlia is an Assistant Editor of mathematics by day, a Copy Editor by night, and a YA author and blogger at every spare moment in between. She's also been a Production Intern and Editorial Assistant at Simon & Schuster, a Publicity Intern at HarperCollins, and a Fashion Intern at Maxim. So, she's kind of into that whole publishing thing.
Her debut novel, BEHIND THE SCENES, releases from Spencer Hill Contemporary on June 24, 2014, but you can pre-order it from Amazon or B&N now, if you're so inclined!
She lives in New York City with my husband and our overstuffed bookshelves, and she's represented by Lana Popovic at Zachary Shuster Harmsworth. You can find her on Twitter at @MissDahlELama and blogging at The Daily Dahlia, YA Misfits, and Barnes & Noble. She's also a member of OneFourKidLit.
