We're a group of (mostly) YA authors--we're also, occasionally, teachers and librarians working in the YA field--discussing the writing life and the YA genre.

Every month, our regular contributors write pieces on a single theme or idea.

In May, we're focusing on our first crushes (or how we write about chemistry).
