I'm Zach, 22, from Southern California (though I'm moving at the end of the month, so that won't be true for long, hehe.)

I'm currently working on my first novel, a Contemporary YA trilogy, after writing poetry for most of my life.

I was referred here by Courtney Summers, just mainly because I've been looking for writerly support and a community. I've also heard Mur Lafferty mention this site once or twice on ISBW.

Not sure what else to say here, just wanted to introduce myself before I jump in to the community.

Thanks for the warm welcomes, everyone! And thank you Regdog for the FAQs. I've read a few of those already, but I'll get to the rest. Cheerio :)

Welcome! I'm not savvy on contemporary YA, but I'm sure you'll find the resources and support you need once you delve into this expansive community. Best of luck!

You'll find a ton of writers to hang with, and more great advice than you can shake a stick at. The abiding rule we have here is that everybody respects their fellow writer. That's the big reason AW thrives. Dive right in; you won't regret it!

See you around the boards :)
