We think ALL YA authors are more stylish than should be legal, and have a swagger and style that’s enviable. Here are just a few of the closets, wardrobes, and jewelry boxes we’re currently coveting!

Does anyone in the world know how to better pair books and booties than queen Tahereh Mafi?!

Ransom Riggs, author of Tales of the Peculiar

Got this coat for my b-day! Taking every chance to wear it bc it’s 90 degrees back home in LA.

One must wonder… Has Ransom always been this chic, or has his wife Tahereh influenced his fashion sensibilities? (We think they probably influence each other, being such the artistic pair…)

Preorder your copy of Tales of the Peculiar here!

We’d do anything to get our hands on these brass knuckles. And Shazi from The Wrath and the Dawn would definitely approve of this gorgeous and sassy accessory. 

Alwyn Hamilton, author of Rebel of the Sands 

Leaning into my Rainbow Bright Sensibilities 🌈 #PinkHair #ShamelessSelfie

Lean into the Rainbow Bright look, girl! We may have been very envious of Alwyn’s pink hair and rainbow necklace the last time she stopped by the PenguinTeen office, too.

Um, we need these pajamas now.

Stacey Lee, author of Outrun the Moon 

Took a break from the hustle bustle of preparing for #OutrunTheMoon book launch and made this for a friend’s birthday out of recycled cashmere, silk, beads and wool scraps. #stressrelief #crafting #amnotwriting #yabooks

Not only is Stacey Lee remarkably talented at writing, her crafty hands work wonders on jewelry!

When your glasses look this good, you have to pose for some new headshots.

Marie Lu, author of The Young Elites series

The Young Elites is out in paperback today!! And tonight at 6pm PST / 9pm EST, I’m doing a live chat on Facebook at: on.fb.me/1PQs8ym . Get your questions ready!

We can’t be entirely certain, but we’re fairly positive that no one looks as cute in a sweater in a cat-eye liner than Marie Lu.

We’d happily take shopping tips from Corey before next prom season comes around.

Alex London, author of Proxy 

Just thinking about that time last year that I got married in a bookstore

Anyone who gets married in a bookstore clearly has style for days.
