Thursday Twitter Takeover: Bernadette Giacomazzo

Each week, an accomplished published author takes over the YEM Twitter account. Each week, the YA author will answer questions, tell stories, and give advice on our social media. This week young adult author Bernadette Giacomazzo will be taking over our Twitter account.

Bernadette Giacomazzo is  an editor, writer, photographer, publicist, and digital marketing specialist. Her work has been featured in Teen Vogue, People, Us Weekly, The Los Angeles Times, The New York Post and many, many more. She served as the news editor of Go! NYC Magazine for nearly a decade, the executive editor of LatinTRENDS Magazine for five years, the eye candy editor of XXL Magazine for two years, and the editor-at-large at iOne/Zona de Saborfor two years.

Bernadette is the author of The Uprising book series. The Uprising Series tells the story of three freedom fighters and their friends in high — and low — places that come together to overthrow a vainglorious Emperor and his militaristic Cabal to restore the city, and the way of life, they once knew and loved. In Book One, called The Gathering, Jamie Ryan has defected from the Cabal and has joined his former brothers-in-arms — Basile Perrinault and Kanoa Shinomura — to form a collective known as The Uprising. When an explosion leads to him crossing paths with Evanora Cunningham — a product of Jamie’s past — he discovers that The Uprising is bigger, and more important, than he thought.
