Young adult world

I agree with Bethany's post that teenagers are better served if they can read realistic fiction. Including sex and drugs in a young adult novel doesn't mean the reader will automatically start doing either. But if the writer has created a believable character whose experience in these areas doesn't turn out well, I can't think of a better lesson for someone to learn vicariously.

You might introduce yourself by telling us what you’re working on in the “Show Me Your Novel and I’ll Show You Mine” discussion if you're not too uncomfortable talking about what you're working on. And we do a live chat every Wednesday; hope you can join us for that!

At this point, this may be the best way to submit. But again, I'll check with our Webmaster after the holiday. Let me know if this works. j.d.

Where are you from (you're in Cali so I'm guessing you're Canadian writing away from the homeland)? What brings you to us?
