What's this? A brand new journal dedicated to the study of Young Adult Literature building from last year's @BeingHumaninYA conference? To be edited by @alisonwaller, @EmilyCorbett11 and @amylouwai?
Replying to @IJYALnews
The International Journal of Young Adult Literature is an open access, peer-reviewed academic journal which will publish work about the theory, critical interpretation, literary history, and cultural production of young adult literature from all parts of the world.

Here's that news we promised. We could not be more thrilled to be part of this very exciting launch issue!
Replying to @IJYALnews
Our first issue will be available later this year. It features articles from leading scholars in the field which discuss the current state of YA literature studies AND a special section which continues important dialogues originating in the @BeingHumaninYA symposium.

Looking for something to read this #lockdown, why not try Beyond the Blockbusters, co-edited by the brilliant @DrFitzPhD & @CaseyAlane?! It's a fab collection offering a V needed look at YA beyond the apocalyptically popular. Yes, YA's more than Twilight! 🤭 @YALMCa_ #YAlit

I have somehow purchased an extra copy of @theFoxFisher & @UglaStefania 'Trans Teen Survival Guide' in the process of buying PhD books. If anybody knows of a young person who'd benefit from the other copy, I'm happy to post anywhere in the UK (for free)! #trans

I'm curious - who's teaching YA to undergraduates in the UK and Ireland this coming academic year? Anyone? Anywhere? Are you doing a full YA module or including it within a wider topic? #ResearchQuestion @YALMCa_ #AcademicTwitter #YAit
