A Hollow Farewell: Abbie Mills Deserved Better

It’s half past time to start holding writers accountable.

By Alexa Day

(OMG, I’m so late. I hope all of you had ice cream while you were waiting!)

I don’t remember where I was when I found out Sleepy Hollow had killed off Abbie Mills. I do remember that I responded with a shrug. It’s not that I’m not grieving. I’m certainly not happy about this. But I’m not surprised.

Truth is, I didn’t start watching Sleepy Hollow for Nicole Beharie. I started watching for John Cho. I can refuse John Cho not...

I am who I am: fiction writer. Why I chose not to use a pen name for my young adult work

By Isabelle Drake

Before signing the contract for Best Friends Never, the first in Cherry Grove, my young adult suspense series, the question of a pen name came up. Since I also write erotic romance, should I use a pen name for my young adult books? Would that be the better? The more I stewed on my eventual answer, the more complex the question became. Here’s how it went.

I started by…um…thinking about myself.

If I create a new name, I’ll need to create a whole new online identity and wow… ti...

A Gi-normic Debate: Banning The Term ‘Plus-Size’

by Madeline Iva

Is this the ad controversy that launched a thousand rants?

ABC and NBC rejected a Lane Bryant Ad but didn’t say why. We can guess though.

Lane Bryant had an ad pulled from a television network and the reasons were mysterious but finally, peoplepointed to the plus-size models and said they were the reason the ad was pulled.

Inan attempt to respond to this sinister attack and rally the plus-size nation, Glamour did a spread of their fav plus-size ladies. However, when Amy Schume...

Girls and Women and Sex and Pleasure: Are We Forgetting Something?

If we don’t talk to girls about sex, who will?

By Alexa Day

Last week, I was reminded of just how small a world ours really is.

I read this article about Peggy Orenstein’s book, Girls & Sex: Navigating the Complicated New Landscape. To research the book, Orenstein spoke to 70 girls and young women, between the ages of 15 and 20, to learn about their attitudes and perceptions about sex.

I’m not sure what I expected to hear about this, but the truth saddened me a little.

Orenstein’s research tu...
