Welcome to SOHO Teen!
While in Anaheim at ALA ’12, I had the pleasure of being introduced to Daniel Ehrenhaft and Meredith Barnes who were more than eager to tell me about the new endeavor of SOHO Press, an imprint dedicated to YA mysteries! I was more than intrigued and after a lovely champagne toast and kickoff, I knew that I wanted to spread the word about this amazing imprint and the books that were coming out in 2013.
After reading the Spring ’13 sampler with some of the titles I’ll be discussing this week and reading the Fall ’13 sampler, I couldn’t resist. SOHO Teen is a new imprint that will knock your socks off and leave you wanting more and more. With award-winning authors like Jacquelyn Mitchard and Jon Scieszka and debut authors like Margaux Froley, you are bound to find titles your teens will like and that you will find live up to the mystery genre and the SOHO mystery reputation.

Later today I will bring you a review and a few extra goodies for the first book coming out in this imprint, What We Saw At Night by Jacquelyn Mitchard but for now, I’ll leave you with a book trailer with a little taste of what SOHO Teen has up their sleeves. And don’t forget to enter our drawing below for some excellent prizes, courtesy of SOHO Teen!

This is very exciting! YA mysteries always seem to be in high demand.
I love learning about more teen imprints! Hoping to win some of these for my teens!
Are the samplers available to anyone? I love when publishers will put out sample chapters so I can decide if I want to actually get the book to read it.
