YA Books Become A New Media Experience
Dust off your book jackets, click some tunes and get ready to have some fun as one-dimensional media turns into a multi-platform conversation!
Launching March 1st, in time for National Women’s History Month, the new readergirlz Web site bonds gal pals in Sisterhood of the Travellin’ Pants-style friendship, as YA books turn into a full blown digital media experience.
Each month, novel ideas literally come to life as girls take a book’s message and apply it firsthand. This concept seamlessly blends art into action, so I love this use of social media.
Shaping Youth caught up with one of the readergirlz founders, Lorie Ann Grover -- leading to an interview and an upcoming podcast on how ‘readergirlz divas’ are adding new layers of richness to girls’ personal reading, inspiring thoughts to spring from the page into real world actions.

Thanks so much for the shout out, Amy! Readergirlz are so excited about our launch. We can't wait to get gabbing about gutsy girls in lit and encouraging our readers to reach out to their community. Thanks for celebrating with us! Best,
Lorie Ann, readergirlz diva
