Auction Preview!

With the Read for Relief auction opening on Monday -- only three days away! -- we thought we'd preview a few items that will be up for bidding. (You know, to get you super excited!) We have been so lucky to receive donations from authors, agents, and editors; and we are looking forward to raising funds for Hurricane Irene relief with your help.

So please check in next week to bid on items like:

• Query critiques from agents (Jim McCarthy, Joanna Volpe, and Sara Crowe, to name a few)
• Partial critiques from editors (like HarperTeen editor Erica Sussman)
• Group critiques (the gals of YA Highway are offering a great one!)
• Signed ARCs (like LOLA AND THE BOY NEXT DOOR by Stephanie Perkins and BORN WICKED by Jessica Spotswood)
• Signed first edition hardcovers (like ASHFALL by Mike Mullin and VARIANT by Robison Wells)
• And much, much more!

For more information about the auction, feel free to check out our How It Works page and our FAQs. If you'd like to donate an item, you are more than welcome to! We are accepting donations of books, ARCs, swag, critiques, and anything else industry-related you can think of. Feel free to get creative! Click here to fill out our donation form, or get more info on our Give an Auction Item page.

And a huge thank you to everyone that has blogged, tweeted, and spread the word about Read for Relief.

See you all on Monday!
