When it comes to writing hard hitting, YA fiction, the Ladies at Darkside Publishing know what they’re doing!

Angela Carlie, G. P. Ching, Megg Jensen, Karly Kirkpatrick and Magan Vernon have their fingers on the pulse of what Young Adult want to read. From fantasy and sci-fi to the paranormal, they have the “write” stuff! (You may Boo that one!)

They have been highly supportive of the G10 Writers, and we want to salute them as visionaries that will help change the face of publishing in the future!
