Alyssa Embree Schwartz

Jessica Koosed Etting and Alyssa Embree Schwartz met the first day of freshman year of college and have essentially shared a brain ever since. They've co-authored the YA thriller The Lost Causes and the contemporary YA series Georgetown Academy. The duo also work as screenwriters in both film and television. They were prompted to write this book by a Huntington's disease diagnosis within Jessica's extended family.
