We don’t always get to meet our favorite authors face to face, but YouTube can be a nice substitute. These writers aren’t just stacking up loyal readers but also subscribers! It’s a place to hear your favorite authors give advice, writing insights and a little peek into their lives.

Veronica Roth

Veronica hasn’t updated in a year and this channel only has a few videos, but where else can you see your favorite YA author jump into a bathtub of marshmallows with her agent ?
So, who did we miss ? Who are your favorite author on YouTube ?
I’m a lifelong reader who started blogging about YA books in 2011 but now I read in just about every genre! I love YA coming of age stories, compelling memoirs and genre bending SFF. You can find me talking all things romance at Romance and Sensibility.
