About Lissa

Short bio for introductions:

Lissa Price’s debut YA novel STARTERS, a futuristic thriller, was called “a smart, swift, inventive, altogether gripping story,” by Dean Koontz. The LA Times said it is “Dystopian sci-fi at its best,” and “Readers who have been waiting for a worthy successor to… ‘The Hunger Games’ will find it here.”  She has lived in Japan and India, but now resides in the Southern California foothills with her husband and the occasional deer.

More bio info:

Lissa studied with Caroline Leavitt, Donald Maass and Janet Fitch, and read at the Iowa Summer Workshop. She’s a member of SCBWI, SFWA, ITW, as well as one of the Apocalypsies, a group of 2012 debut YA authors. In 2012 she joined Beth Revis and the talented gang of ten YA dystopian and science fiction authors at The League of Extraordinary Writers . Lissa is hard at work finishing the sequel, ENDERS, due out in December.
