Featured writers include: Jennifer Armentrout, Anna Todd Erin Latimer, Emily Lindin and Bel Watson.

The site is also hosting the 6thAnnual Watty Awards this summer. Authors can enter by tagging a story that they have written in 2015 with #wattys2015. Submissions are open through August 31, 2015. Follow this link for more details.
