YA Twitter, I'm working on compiling a Thing™. Could you let me know of any journals that are open to criticism on YA? (I know of a bunch, but I don't want to miss anything! So, if you want to tell me the obvious - do!) @YALMCa_ #yalit

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.

I’m currently listening to @RinChupeco’s The Never Tilting World, and it is SO SO SO good. The whole premise is 🤯, and I’m just in love. (Book writing brain may be killing reading brain, but I can listen!!!) #YALit #YAFantasy @YALMCa_
