Authors4Teens

Today's post idea comes from Ms. York, with additional material from Ms. Anderson.

Authors4Teens is a web site "designed by YA author and educator Don Gallo to provide teens, as well as teachers and librarians, access to 'complete, up-to-date information about contemporary authors who write mainly for teenagers.' Users can access the resource using three methods: Authors, Search, or Links. Each author page contains a lengthy initial interview by Gallo (also available as a pdf document) along with shorter follow-up interviews, a complete and continually updated bibliography.
