Everyone’s excited about Veronica Rossi’s upcoming appearance at YALLFest, including Tween 2 Teen, who got a chance to interview her before the big event!
Q. What is the hardest line to write- the first or the last?
A. Yeah, those. And all the ones in between!
Q. Best writing tip you ever received?
A. $5. Just kidding. Um… tip… I think it’s probably to allow yourself to suck when writing early drafts. It takes away a lot of the fear of generating good material. It’s not easy to be creative when you’re judging your work
Veronica Rossi, author of the amazing Under the Never Sky series, will be taking on a new challenge in the form of a New Adult book. The term “New Adult” is focused on college-aged characters, whereas the YA is focused on high school-aged characters. So, essentially, we’re heading into more provocative territory, to say the least, being that NA is more romance than anything else.
Lorin Oberweger and Veronica Rossi writing as Noelle August’s BOOMERANG, pitched as THE HANGOVER meets THE INTERNSHIP, set in an online dating service that aims to be Match.com for millennials on the rebound, to Tessa Woodward at William Morrow, in a three book deal, in a pre-empt, for publication in 2014, by Adams Literary on behalf of Wildcard Storymakers (World English).
So, yeah, this is apparently where she’s headed next. That’s not to say that she isn’t going to be writing anymore YA books, because she does plan on it. The NA book is under a pseudonym after all.
Whether you like this or not, the NA genre seems to be picking up rather easily. Working at a bookstore, there are quite a few NA books that get purchased, so the potential for readers is already there, and I think they’re hungry for more.
Lorin Oberweger is an editor as well as an author and this looks to be her first novel to be published.

Who’s excited? I bet we all are. And the bigger question is: WHO is on the cover?
We won’t have to wait for too long!
Veronica Rossi posted this on her Facebook earlier today:
This should be exciting, but as will all short stories, they usually are never enough. But aside from that, what two characters do you think she’s talking about? Could it be more Roar and Liv? Or a side story of Perry and Aria that’s just too fluffy for the third book? Who else could it be?
Many young adult writers made an appearance at Book Expo America in New York City this week (BEA ends this Sunday), and one of them was our very own, lovely Veronica Rossi!
Here, she’s seen giving an interview for Epic Reads, however, I don’t believe that interview is available as of yet. Will try to get that out to you as soon as it’s available.
What does she have to say about being at BEA?
In New York for BEA. I’ve seen so many amazing writers, bloggers, fans, editors, agents, publicists… Love being part of the book business!
