Who I Write For

Lately, there's been a lot of talk about who "should" read YA. There was the Salon article, saying adults should be "embarrassed" to read YA (eye roll) and the myriad (wonderfully articulate) responses from YA writers and readers alike. There's always stuff like this around, and I find the articles and their responses really interesting.

On a more personal level, it seems like every time I tell someone in publishing that I'd like teenagers to read my book...I get cynical laughter in response....
