Meet How They Met Today!

How They Met, and Other Stories, my latest solo book, is now in stores. It contains both new and old stories — some I wrote in high school, some I wrote in the past year. A lot of the stories are the valentine's day stories I've written for friends ever since I was a junior in high school. I'm really proud of the book, and the reaction to it so far has been amazing. To order it online, click here, or support independent bookstores by visiting Booksense. You can also read an excerpt from one of the stories. And stay tuned for tour details — the ones I've lined up so far are in the column to your right.

A Graphic First Kiss

Check out First Kiss, Then Tell, a new anthology in which over twenty YA authors write their own first kiss stories! My story is a graphic one. No, not that kind of graphic. It's graphic in the "graphic novel" sense — and it's been wonderfully illustrated by Nick Eliopulos. Check out Nick's blog for his own first kiss story, as well as an excerpt from the story in First Kiss, Then Tell. And feel free to buy a copy here.

Girls Who Like Boys Who Like Boys

I have an essay, "The Good Girls," in a new book called Girls Who Like Boys Who Like Boys — the title pretty much tells you what it's about. There are also amazing essays from Cecil Castellucci, Bennett Madison, Brian Sloan, Wendy Mass, David Ebershoff, and the book's two editors, Tom Dolby and Melissa de la Cruz. Check it out, or order a copy.

The Full Spectrum Won a Lammy!

Edited by David Levithan & Billy Merrell

The Full Spectrum: A New Generation of Writing About Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning, and Other Identities received a 2007 Lamda Literary Award. Edited with my best friend Billy Merrell, the anthology was all written by people under 23, each talking about different aspects of the queer experience. Since I didn’t actually write any of them, I feel I can say they’re pretty amazing. Visit queerthology.com to meet the writers.

Nick & Norah on the Big Screen

Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist, the first novel I wrote with my friend Rachel Cohn, is soon to be a major motion picture! It's all about a guy named Nick and a girl named Norah and how they fall in and out and in and out and in and out of love over the course of a night. Read an excerpt, or check out mixes and more at the Random House Nick & Norah site.
