Laura Preble’s newest novel, Anna Incognito, has won the Independent Publisher Book Award for regional fiction, as well as a silver medal in the Screencraft Cinematic Book awards and a Script Pipeline Book Adaptation finalist spot. It is currently under development to become a film. She is also the author of the young adult series, Queen Geek Social Club (Penguin/Berkley Jam). Her novel, Out, dealt with the concept of LGBTQ rights within a young adult dystopia; Alex Sanchez, author of Rainbow Boys, says "Out explores an intriguing, mind-bending, and challenging portrait of an upside-down world that turns the tables on homophobia, acceptance, and love.” She has won a Kurt Vonnegut Fiction Prize, and has been published in North American Review, Writer’s Digest, Hysteria, and NEA Today.
