Hi everyone! I'm new to Book Country, though I've been hearing about it for sometime! 

I'm a 30-something, about to be 40-something K-5 Librarian (who will hopefully take over the entire Pre-K-8 grades in the next year or two) as well as mom of 2 boys, both of whom never stop moving, or talking for that matter. When I'm not wrangling kidlets, I'm either writing for them or about them. 

I'm a chronic user of sarcasm and love witty banter... which explains my recent re-emerging obsession with Dawson's Creek. 

I'm excited about meeting all of you and am especially looking forward to giving and receiving some amazing feedback!

Hi Sarah!

Welcome to the community. My name is Nevena and I'm the Book Country assistant, so don't hesitate to ask me questions about the community and how things work. 

You'll notice we have no section on the Genre Map for young adult or new adult books. To let other Book Country members know that your book is young adult, you can just tag it as young adult or new adult when you upload it.

Also, you might want to check out this blog post we put together for getting started on the site: http://bookcountry.com/Industry/Article.aspx?articleId=139379.

I'm a big NA/YA fan =), so I look forward to checking out your fiction. 

Cheers,
Nevena
