Are you writing (or attempting to write) a YA novel for boys? Check out this article from Publishers Weekly by a 13-year-old New Jersey boy who dissects all that’s wrong with modern YA and tells you what he wants to read. Even if your novel is purged of “Methinks” and you have a badass protagonist, it’s still worth a look.

Don’t like being told what to do by a 13-year-old? Remember, he’s published in PW. Are you?
