music video and
pictures of him icing his hand after signing too many books.
Green is the social media king of YA authors and this is just as obvious on Facebook as it is on every other platform where he has a presence. He posts stuff like
why geography is dumb,
covers of his books in different translations, and of course, links to his
latest Vlogbrother videos.
Kaling may only be a first-time author at this point, but that is more than enough to include her on this list in my opinion, especially when you consider how freaking awesome her Facebook page is. She posts stuff like

Wikipedia articles about correctional facilities that mention her TV show.

responds to reader’s comments. Rock on, Mr. King.
Jodi Picoult is another author who interacts with her readers on her Facebook page. If you’re a fan, her page is a must-like for keeping up with her
schedule and
book news.
Rice is nothing if not loyal to her fans. She interacts constantly with readers on her Facebook page and, as one Rioter pointed out, has her assistant apologize on her behalf if she’s been absent from the page for too long. In addition to promoting her books she posts a lot of
interesting articles and encourages friendly debate and discussion.
Popular YA author of the Percy Jackson series and Bostonian (yay!) Rick Riordan publishes his tweets through his Facebook page, so if you don’t have a Twitter account and want to keep up with him, liking his Facebook page is a great way to do that. Also

Time Magazine,

The Riot Read, just to name a few. She posts
book news,
tour plans, and
cool fanart on her Facebook page.

letter to her Facebook fans every month along with
updates about her books and

photos of her travels, as well as
flashback photos from her childhood. She also ocassionally posts about
current events.
