I'm not sure where it comes from, but I actually think realistic young adult novels today are changing that. I can't speak to every book, of course, but I've read many novels that show a grittier, more realistic vision of addiction, and mental illness. I can tell you that for me, personally, one of my goals while writing DIE FOR YOU was to address the type of romanticization you're asking about. I wanted to strip the romanticism from the idea of "dying for love." I wanted to show it for what it is: manipulation and emotional abuse. I hope that answers your question. Best, Amy(less)

Wheels Are in Motion

Welcome to October’s Newsletter Update. This month: From Manuscript to Book. 

When I get asked what happens to my manuscript after I send off the final copy edits, I generally nod wisely and murmur, “the wheels are in motion.”

I have no idea what those wheels are.

For me, it’s one of the joys of having someone else publish my book. I don’t have to know. It’s like a hot dog. Do we really want to k
