We have a treat in store for you today :0) It's a guest post by Ingrid Jonach, one of the growing number of brilliant authors that have been signed to the Strange Chemistry label. Ingrid hails from Australia, and is here to talk about the YA scene down under. Enjoy....
The
Young Adult Scene Down Under
If you were to walk into an
Aussie bookstore or library, you would find the shelves groaning under the
weight of novels from abroad, particularly the US.
We too were swept up in the Harry Potter, Twilight and The Hunger Games
Series’. We have grown accustomed to international slang and even spelling
if the novel has been ordered from overseas (note there has been a lot of
robust discussion around parallel imports in Australia, but that is another
blog post altogether!). And we Aussies are actively engaging with international
readers and writers through social networking sites like Twitter and Goodreads.
