Advice for the YA Author - video
Penguin Young Adult author, Melissa Walker, discusses how to get better at writing by reading outside of your comfort zone. She advises young adult authors to read as much as possible and outside of your favorite genre to gain confidence in writing and learn how different genres use characters and structure. Writers gain writing knowledge by reading good and bad books.
