Seraphina
The Miseducation of Cameron Post
After the Snow

We all have favorite authors we like to return to again and again, and we eagerly await their new books. But how do you find NEW authors? Lots of folks find out about new books and authors by hearing recommendations from friends (and hopefully librarians!). Another way is to look at awards lists. The Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA) gives out the Morris Award every year to YA book by a previously unpublished author. These are the authors that you want to keep an eye on! This year's nominees were recently announced:

Wonder Show by Hannah Barnaby

Love and Other Perishable Items by Laura Buzo

After the Snow by S.D. Crockett

The Miseducation of Cameron Post by Emily Danforth

Seraphina by Rachel Hartman

The winner will be announced in January, and in the meantime, you have some great books by first time authors to check out!

Previous winners include:

Where Things Come Back by John Corey Whaley

The Freak Observer by Blythe Woolston

Flash Burnout by L.K. Madigan

A Curse as Dark as Gold by Elizabeth C. Bunce

Check out a Morris winner--one of them may become a new favorite author!
