The Initiates of 23

Posted by Team Camp YA in 2023

SUNDAY 30 JULY – 3.15 PM

Online Mini-Panel

Join blogger Rosie Stone as she chats to 2023 debut authors Rachel Moore (The Library
of Shadows), Skyla Arndt (Together We Rot) and Mackenzie Reed (The Rosewood Hunt) all about their books, their writing and their journey to publication.

About Mackenzie Reed

Mackenzie Reed is the author of young adult fiction, including her debut thriller THE ROSEWOOD HUNT. She cultivated her love of storytelling at Nazareth College, where she graduated with a BA in Communication and Media. A native and resident of Rochester, New York, she loves going for brainstorming walks when the weather's behaving and spending time with her family. In the sparse moments she's not writing or daydreaming about her next book, she's usually winging her eyeliner and hunting for the best slice of pizza in town.

About Rachel Moore

Rachel Moore is a content marketer and writer living in Nashville, Tennessee. She graduated from the University of Evansville with a degree in creative writing, and she has never met a romcom she didn't love. On the rare occasion she isn't writing happy endings, you can find her collecting dictionaries, drinking entirely too much coffee, and drifting through the library stacks. The Library of Shadows is her debut novel.

About Rosie Stone

Rosie Stone (she/her) is a bookstagrammer, wannabe writer psychologist based in Essex. Dabbling in social media and podcasting, she has been making bookish friends around the globe and promoting new authors the last few years whilst working for the NHS. She has two main goals: to read all the horror fiction she possibly can, and to help people feel safe expressing their mental health needs. She can be found on Instagram @thezodiacreader_ twitter and tiktok @thezodiacreader.

About Skyla Arndt

Skyla Arndt has always loved the creepy, crawly side of life. When she was younger, she thought that love might translate to hunting Bigfoot, but luckily for him, writing proved easier. Her debut novel, Together We Rot, is a YA horror about two estranged best friends who need to team up to confront an ancient evil in their neighboring woods. Connect with her at arndtskyla.com or @arndtskyla on Instagram or Twitter. (Howling at the moon works, too.)
