YA Authors on Pinterest

pin me!!

I'm sort of obsessed with Pinterest right now. I can say that, because I'm definitely not the only one – the site's exploded in recent months, and many other YA authors are just as obsessed.

It's an easy, visually appealing way to collect book inspiration, for starters (some author pinboards are STUNNING). But it's also a source for discovering simple ways to inject creativity into our lives, from meals to costumes to some of the coolest bookshelves I've ever seen. By following other users, we get to share the things they love – and with authors, we can glimpse the real, colorful people behind their books.

So, I thought I'd compile a list of YA authors on Pinterest (the ones I could find, anyway). For now, I'm keeping it to active users – a few blank pinboards doesn't count. If I'm missing any YA authors, please let me know in the comments!* Even if you're not an author (yet!) feel free to link your page in the comments, too.
