YA Scavenger Hunt Spring 2016

I’m so excited to announce that this Spring, I’ll be taking part in the YA Scavenger Hunt….

… and I’ll be on Team Red! 

Just look at how many awesome authors are on my team!

Not heard of the YA Scavenger Hunt before?

That’s okay, all the details are over on the official website.

The YA Scavenger Hunt is a biannual online event that promotes collaboration between YA authors from different publishing houses, offering fans an opportunity to see the latest and greatest in young adult literature. During the hunt, we showcase exclusive bonus material, give readers access to top secret insider information, and offer fabulous prizes and giveaways for zealous YA fans.

So, it’s an Easter-style hunt, where authors post exclusive content relating to their books over on other authors’ blogs. Readers follow the trail (each blog post will give exclusive content and link to the next in line), and collect up all the secret numbers (one in each post) for a certain team. Readers then enter the total of all the numbers as their entry into the team prize (a book from each author!). You can either stick to one team, or enter them all! 

If you want more information on How To Hunt, then check out this post.

Many participating authors will also be running their own giveaways, so there’s plenty of stuff to win!

To see the full team announcements and work out which teams each of the 180 YA authors have been placed in, go here.

The exclusive content will only be available in the duration of the hunt (March 29th to April 3rd) and it’s a great way to find out more about your favourite books and the authors! 

So, March 29th–the day the Hunt begins–is definitely a day to note down! On that day, all the authors’ posts (with their exclusive content and so many giveaways) will go live and the hunt will begin!
