YA Twitter, I'm working on compiling a Thing™. Could you let me know of any journals that are open to criticism on YA? (I know of a bunch, but I don't want to miss anything! So, if you want to tell me the obvious - do!) @YALMCa_ #yalit

[International Journal of Young Adult Literature @IJYALnews]

We are seeking a reviewer for "Nerds, Goths, Geeks, and Freaks: Outsiders in Chicanx and Latinx Young Adult Literature" (edited by Trevor Boffone & Cristina Herrera) for our first issue. Would you be interested? Retweets welcome.

[YALMCA @YALMCa_]

Definitely one for our followers! A brilliant, new 💯 dedicated to YA journal! #yalit #yacriticaltheory

After months and months of work behind the scenes, we are so excited to be able to share IJYAL with you all. Follow us, tweet us, retweet us, and shout about us far and wide in the YA community.

[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.

[International Journal of Young Adult Literature @IJYALnews]

Imagine how exciting it would be to scroll through your Twitter feed and come across a brand new academic journal devoted to the study of young adult literature...
