@tiafisher_ And congrats on the recent release of Crossing the Line!

[Noah Weisz @NoahWrites1]

@tiafisher_ Oh, thanks so much! I'm definitely not the first person to articulate the idea but I'm so glad it was helpful. It means a lot to me that you read and responded to the piece!

I’m three articles in to this debut issue and already and blown away by so much useful thinking about writing for young people. THANK YOU to Lucy and the other editors - and if course, the contributors. So much hard work, put to such good use :-) 💡💡💡📚#MAWFYP #amwriting

[Lucy Cuthew @LucyCuthew]

This article will be of interest to lots of YA authors thinking about voice - a close look at the emotional style of narration common in contemporary YA #leafjournal

[Lizza Aiken💙💛 @LizzaAiken]

Charmed to discover that Joan Aiken has inspired the Niagara Effect - based on her quote about really good writing for children - and a timely reminder that Book Depository is no more...but you can now buy this delightfully entertaining guide from @BWBooks

Mildly distressed about this being out in the world, but also full of gratitude (and a good dose of hope!)

Thank you @ElenCaldecott @LucyCuthew at @Leaf_Journal for such a wonderful experience in getting this article ready to publish 🥰

[Charlotte Teeple-Salas @ctsalaswrites]

I’m honoured to have my piece in this fantastic first edition of 💫 @Leaf_Journal with so many other informative & intriguing articles on children’s lit! ✨

[Noah Weisz @NoahWrites1]

Excited to have my paper among the 8 articles in the inaugural issue of @Leaf_Journal! Thanks to amazing editors @ElenCaldecott and @LucyCuthew! The paper uses Joan Aiken's craft principles to re-examine some common techniques for evoking emotion in contemporary YA. @LizzaAiken

[Leaf Journal, on Writing for Young People @Leaf_Journal]

YA authors frequently employ an expressive first-person voice for “immediacy”. However, in this article, @NoahWrites1 argues that overtly emotional first-person voices can sometimes actually prevent, rather than enable, emotional intensity. https://t.co/jkERdDLKUb
