From the Press Release:
On September 13th, 2010, eighteen of today’s most buzzed about writers of young adult paranormal romance – from international bestsellers and award winners to the genre’s hottest newcomers -- hit the road for a whirlwind twelve-city, two week tour. Unprecedented in terms of size, scope and its organization, the highly anticipated Smart Chicks Kick It Tour (www.smartchickskickit.com) is author-organized AND author-funded, with the 18 participating authors -- or “Chicks” -- coming from a wide variety of different publishers.
This ground-breaking approach will, for the first time ever, provide fans the opportunity to meet and talk to some of their favorite authors at one time, even though the authors publish with different houses. Featuring five to nine Chicks at every venue, the author line up in every city will be different so no two events will be exactly the same. Kelley Armstrong (New York Times bestselling urban fantasy author of the Women of the Otherworld series), Melissa Marr (creator of The New York Times bestselling Wicked Lovely series) and Alyson Noel (New York Times bestselling author of The Immortals series) will appear at every venue.The Smart Chicks have a blog with their stories from the road here: http://smartchickskickit.blogspot.com/
