More than 75 YA authors signed the initial press release to commit to the #YA4Hillary campaign. Some of them had not yet begun tweeting their support when Bustle went to press. The authors who signed the press release, but who are not represented below, include Renee Ahdieh, David Arnold, Jay Asher, Melissa de la Cruz, Charlotte Huang, Amie Kaufman, Sashi Kaufman, David Levithan, Laurent Linn, Marie Lu, Sonya Mukherjee, Lauren Oliver, Shea Olson, Micol Ostow, Maria Padian, Danielle Paige, Gae Polisner, Will Ritter, Lilliam Rivera, Gregg Rosenblum, Melissa Sarno, Sarvenaz Tash, Kim Turrisi, Danielle Vega, Jessica Verdi, Siobhan Vivian, Suzanne Young, and Jeff Zentner.
