Hello and welcome to the League of Extraordinary Writers! We are a group of dystopian and sci fi writers who are debuting our first novels next year. You can read all about us in our bios: Julia, Angie, Jeff, and Beth. Our works run the gamut of murder mysteries in space to near future dystopias to far future speculation to a post-apocalyptic world.
But there's one thing we all have in common: the futures we're writing about are all after the world takes a turn for the worst.
Dystopias are among the most popular genres in YA literature today, and we're all honored to be exploring the vast world of dark futures.
This blog is dedicated to highlighting the best of the best in the dystopian field. To read about the inception and plans for the blog, click here. We'll be exploring books, movies, and television; interviewing authors; reviewing dystopian works; and introducing you to our own new works. With a new blog post by a different author every weekday, you're sure to find something you enjoy!
Are you new to dystopian works? I recently blogged about dystopia and why it's popular in society today.
But....we all know why you're here. For prizes! This month, we're giving away SIGNED SWAG!
This month, we're giving away a SIGNED copy of Rick Yancey's MONTRUMOLOGIST (did I mention it won the Printz Honor?) and a SIGNED copy of Carrie Ryan's THE FOREST OF HANDS AND TEETH and signed bookmarks by PJ Hoover and Maria Snyder and a signed magnet by Stacey Jay! Monsters and magic and zombies, oh my!

I love Dystopia (well, OK, I don't want to live in a dystopia, but I just can't get enough of reading/writing about it). Looking forward to the future of the blog.
