The Eclectic Artist Cave Presents Stacey O'Neale

Stacey is a full-time writer and webmaster of the Young Adult Fantasy Guide. She’s had several articles and book reviews published, but spends most of her writing time on the revisions to her debut young adult fantasy novel. When not writing, she loves to read fantasy. Some of her favorite authors include J. R. R. Tolkien, Tamora Pierce, Cassandra Clare, Bruce Coville, Holly Black, Melissa Marr, Scott Westerfeld, Becca Fitzpatrick, Lauren Kate, and J. K. Rowlings. She has a collection of old school comics like X-Men, Spiderman, and the Fantastic Four. She doesn’t watch many television shows, but when she does it’s probably True Blood or Vampire Diaries. On a personal note, she has a somewhat secret obsession with 80's cartoons. She has a collection of DVD’s that include He-Man, She-ra, Thundercats, and Transformers. One of her many goals over the coming years is to attend the San Diego Comic Con and dress up as a classic superhero! When she isn't promoting or reading YA, she is helping writers learn how to write a good query letter. Right now, through March 31, Stacey has a contest going on for the best YA Query letter. The winner of the contest will receive a personal Query Letter Critique from Tamar Rydzinski of the Laura Dail Literary Agency.
