Praise:
“The trouble with “how to” books on creativity is that they usurp creativity. Not so with this very
insightful guide for YA writing. If it doesn’t become a standard or even a classic among reference

books, it will be an oversight. Janet Schrader-Post and Elizabeth Fortin-Hinds have all the
marinated smarts and credentialed experience to pull this off, and they do! No dictated wisdom
from on high here, no grafted creativity, THE YOUNG ADULT WRITER’S JOURNEY is accessible,
motivational and a clear map that leaves plenty of room to discover for anyone wanting to explore
their creative side.”-Thomas Sullivan, Pulitzer-nominated author of THE PHASES OF HARRY MOON
