Summary of Wild Ink: How to Write Fiction for Young Adults

How do writers break into the flourishing young adult (YA) market? How do they tap into their wild side and find their "inner teen" What are pitfalls to be aware of when submitting manuscripts for this specialized market? Wild Ink provides answers.

With humor and a solid grounding in reality, author Victoria Hanley helps readers understand the ins and outs of the YA genre, how to stay inspired, and how to avoid common mistakes writers make in trying to reach teens. She includes unique writing exercises to help readers find their own authentic teen voice. And she doesn't stop there. She goes on to interview agents, editors, and 18 authors working in the field. Engaging and informative interviews with YA authors such as T.A. Barron, Joan Bauer, Chris Crutcher, and Lauren Myracle provide insight into the real world of writing.

This book is packed with fascinating information, detail, and inspiration for anyone interested in writing for teens.
What appears to be yet another run-of-the-mill fantasy story turns out to be quite a gripping tale of loyalty, treachery, fortitude, a search for truth, and love.
