Authors that inspire me (that come to mind first) are JK Rowling (even though I haven't read her books, her story is awesome), Cassandra Clare, Beth Revis etc.! :)

Hello everyone!
I'm Mandy, and I'm a closet writer!
I love YA books, however, it seems my stories all seem to have characters in their twenties (like me!).
Authors that inspire me:
Meg Cabot (!!! BIG TIME)
Sarah Dessen (I love her realism)
Simone Elkeles (love her characters!)
Jk Rowling (because even though I don't write Paranormal/fantasy, I find her journey to becoming an author inspirational)
Cassandra Clare (just because I LOVE her books)
Kody Keplinger (she is a month younger (21 in August) than me, and already on book #3!! If that's not inspirational I don't know what is!)

I also run a blog under the name The Romance Bookie, if anyone is interested in checking it out!

Yeah, most of my characters are round 16-20. Does anyone else have that with their novels? Maybe it's a more in depth understanding thing :)

Cassandra Clare
Richelle Mead
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Suzanne Collins
J. K. Rowling
Veronica Roth

Hi I’m Jenna. I write fantasy, mostly, and have been working on the same story for about three years. My favorite authors are Douglas Adams, J.R.R Tolkien, Suzanne Collins and Harper Lee. I like to write in first person mostly, and I like writing with a lot of personality in my voices.

Same with me Jenna :)

I'm Rozalynn. I mostly read YA and fantasy and a tiny bit of sci-fi. My favorite authors are Tamora Pierce, Amelia Atwater-Rhodes, J. K. Rowling, Terry Pratchett, and Charles De Lint. I usually read anything they publish.
I've been working mainly on a dystopian novel for the past 10 years between going to college and dealing with family troubles. You can read my stuff over at http://www.fictionpress.com/~maruzoku

Heyo!

My name is Aero. But I chaned it to Sketch. I'm a fan of fantasy and contemporary authors. Such as Rachel Vincent, Becca Fitzpatrick, P.C. Cast, Pittacus Lore, Julia Hoban, Jay Asher etc. I'm also a fan of dystopian fiction like the Hunger Games and Divergent. I'm a huge fan of anime & manga (Geez I'm so odd :P) and currently in the process of writing two realistic fiction stories.

I know what you mean! School can really kill my creativity sometimes :) Maybe we can help it come back. :)

I love Margaret Peterson Haddix :)

Hi! I’m Elisar, and I really, really want to be an author in the future. And if that doesn’t work out, a Chief Executive Officer of an editing company :D

Yeah, I want to be a full time author. But if it doesn't work out, I want something to do with history- anthropology etc. or be a philosopher :)

Welcome to the group :D

Thanks! This seems like a great group for aspiring authors [Hence the title] so I thought I’d join. :)

thanks, if you have any suggestions, let me, Caitlin or Hamza know.

Alright :D

The reason I don’t have many is because I want to be my own author. I want to write fantastic stories of my own.
