This edition of Wild Ink has three new chapters: two on novel writing and another on writing YA nonfiction. Other chapters have been revised and updated, and additional interviews with authors, editors, and agents are included.
Originally, this book grew out of workshops I’ve given at writing conferences. The young adult (YA) market is flourishing, and eager workshop participants have been full of questions—so many questions it would take a book to answer them all.
If you’ve been wondering whether writing for the YA market is for you, by the end of this book I hope you’ll have a good idea of whether the answer is “yes” or “no.” Besides offering plenty of down-to-earth tips, Wild Ink aims to help you explore unknown territory, tread risky ground, and bring buried dreams into the open.
Write that book!
