As a YA writer and reader, there are some websites that I rely upon and even frequent daily. These sites have fun, interesting posts or expansive information or even both. Today, as I prepare to travel north for Christmas, I thought I’d share my favorite YA resources. I hope you find them worthwhile and please feel free to share your own favorite resources in the comments.
YA Stands
This site addresses YA specific and current issues. I get
each post in my e-mail and I’ve grown quite fond of the informality of each
post. It’s easy to read in the mornings when my brain isn’t fully functional. Also,
there are multiple contributors which keeps it interesting and informative.
YA Highway’s Publishing Road Map
This road map has helpful information on all aspects of the
publishing journey. I was surprised and delighted at how expansive the site is.
I’ve already explored a good portion of the links, and recommend the Setting and
World Building list—it’s been useful to me already!
Nova Ren Suma’s Blog
Distraction 99 is a blissful distraction. I enjoy reading
Nova’s blog not only because she discusses her writing life and habits but because
she dives into other authors’ thoughts in her writer-to-writer interviews. Her
viewpoint in these interviews is one that only a published author can provide and
I find it unique and helpful.
Teen Reads’ Coming Soon section
If you are looking for new upcoming YA books, I would
suggest visiting this link. It’s all-encompassing and the first site I click on
to find out what’s coming soon in the YA world.
Safe travels and happy holidays!
