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?

[Being Human in YA Literatures @BeingHumaninYA]

Here's that news we promised. We could not be more thrilled to be part of this very exciting launch issue!

[International Journal of Young Adult Literature @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.

It's been a whole year since @BeingHumaninYA and we have BIG news that we can't wait to share with you tomorrow at 12pm BST! 👀👀👀

[Emily Corbett @DrEmilyCorbett]

"can I copy your homework?"

"yeah just change it up a bit so it doesn't look obvious you copied"

"ok"

[Dr Leah Phillips @Le_phill]

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! 🤭

Our 4th Annual NCRCL conference is this Friday @RoehamptonUni! 'In Crusoe’s Footsteps: Robinson Crusoe and the Robinsonade – A Tercentenary Appraisal' welcomes nine speakers to explore the cultural heritage /1 #CrusoesFootsteps

[Emily Corbett @DrEmilyCorbett]

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

[Dr Leah Phillips @Le_phill]

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

Let's start a thread of great resources!
