#LoveOzYA

I have a new article up on the Kill Your Darlings blog;

#LoveOzYA

and it's all about what I've been discussing recently, which is the global YA market undercutting Aussie YA. 

The fault with a sick-lit debate

My new column for Kill Your Darlings is 'The fault with a sick-lit debate' looking John Green's The Fault in Our Stars, Esther Earl's posthumous This Star Won't Go Out and A.J. Betts's Zac & Mia. 

The adult vs children’s lit debate: An interview with Morris Gleitzman

My name Kill Your Darlings blog is up! I interviewed Morris Gleitzman on children's VS adult & YA lit.

And if you want to know what else we talked about, check out this review of his new book Extra Time which is also a mini-interview. 

You are not alone: Why we need more Indigenous writers and characters in Australian YA

☼ 

My first blog for Kill Your Darlings is out in the world today!

'You are not alone: Why we need more Indigenous writers and characters in Australian YA' was partly inspired by Sue McPherson's fabulous debut Grace Beside Me and Ambelin Kwaymullina's The Interrogation of Ashala Wolf (review coming soon!) - and I interviewed both authors for my piece. 

I'll be blogging a bit more for KYD in 2013, with a focus on young adult literature - so watch this space.
