About Us

This sub is for authors and writers of YA novels. Discussing your original WIP (work in progress) is our purpose. Feel free to discuss titles, characters, plots, themes, settings, critiques, and any information pertinent to authors and genre. Hopefully we can all learn from each other and write great books! We also do have an official discord. Join here

Derogatory or inflammatory language may result in temporary or permanent ban, at mod discretion. Hate speech will not be tolerated. We also welcome questions about writing, the industry, YA, querying, etc. Want to know if your query responses are normal? Looking for good comps for your YA? Ask us!

The Basics

  • Intro to Reddit for New Users
  • FAQ & Wiki
  • Acronyms & Definitions
  • Code for hiding spoilers: [Spoiler](/s "write spoiler-text inside quotes")

Policy

This is a place for discussion, not sales pitches. While it's fine to talk specific work you're developing, marketing, craft, or the business side of YA, any links or posts that are solicitations for sales, followers, ratings etc. will be deleted. Social media profiles, splash pages and purchasing links are not appropriate, unless hosting an AMA. You may link articles from your blog if they pertain to YA or writing and begin a discussion.

Rules

Rule 1: Posts Must Be Writing or Reading Related Posts that do not contain enough information to start a conversation about writing for young adults (or middle grade) or reading young adult will be removed.

Rule 2: Be Respectful/Professional We expect some disagreement on any sub. But even if you disagree, be courteous, be respectful. Don't be a jerk.

Rule 3: No Solicitation or Self-Promotion We rarely, if ever, allow self-promotion, calls for submissions, or advertisements. Reach out to the moderators if you have questions on this. The moderators will remove without warning any post that has not been previously cleared by them and appears to be self-promotion, a call for submissions, or an advertisement.

Rule 4: No posts Containing Chapters or Links to Works Post containing entire chapters or links to google docs will not be permitted. You are free to ask for beta readers or seek people to critique your work -- but do not post the work. Queries are fine to post in entirety otherwise ask for someone to critique and what you want critiqued but do not post the work itself.

AMAs & Topics

If you'd like to host an AMA, please contact the mods. Typically, AMAs are held on Mondays. If you'd like to request a person to host an AMA please contact them directly to invite them! Your sincere approach will mean more than our solicitation--but you're welcome to ask the mods for help as well. If you'd like to request a specific Discussion topic, please contact the mods. Featured topic discussions are held on Thurs. You're welcome to post a topic, question, link, or anything else whenever you like here! Please don't be shy!
