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
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

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 🥰
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.

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! ✨
@ctsalaswrites explores why she is compelled to write time-slip stories, and whether their appeal in the publishing industry is a passing trend, cyclical or enduring.

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.

Having interviewed people for decades, this is the one thing I can say with great conviction, we don’t know really what people are going through. There is so much, too much, quiet suffering. Even here, especially here, please be gentle as you are able.

Being unagented and working with a small publisher (and not being social media savvy) is hard I’ve found out. I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity, but any reviews would be a dream (not to sound desperate or anything 😜)
