Leaf Journal is for writers for young people who are interested in both craft and concepts. This issue has articles on whether the 1st person voice really is more immediate, the best way to discuss suicide in YA, and much more. https://t.co/lDypcQTuNi
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
Could not be prouder to share this - issue one of the journal the fantastic @ElenCaldecott and I set up. It is full of short, accessible, free-to-read essays about writing for young people. Please share #leafjournal#MAWYP
Leaf Journal: On Writing for Young People is live! Issue One published today: https://t.co/Et5JImnqdv Eight provocative, insightful articles by new and established scholars. List to follow. Huge thanks to @lancaster_words and @BSUCreativeW for their institutional support!
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 🥰
In this essay @_CarleyLee unpacks our understanding of hope – what it is and what it isn’t – and how it informs the way we write for a Middle Grade audience. https://t.co/WWtETqt04x
My first official academic paper, in which I have managed to fangirl over both @neilhimself and @MESalisbury AND use a Brit Pop reference in the title.
