Writers helping other writers

This is a rough concept I have in mind. I’m putting this here as a placeholder to remind myself to do it—when life is a bit less busy.

I made this post in my stories and got an overwhel I made this post in my stories and got an overwhelming amount of DM’s. Yay! So to keep the suggestions all in ONE place so I can keep referring to them when we need more books lined up…can you add your clean YA book suggestions here, please!! 

I appreciate the adult clean suggestions, but she’s TEN so YA is much more relatable. 😆 She’s not super interested in middle grade subject matter. She enjoys romance and fantasy (as long as it’s not too scary, gruesome, or intense). 

Here’s some of what she’s already read and loved…

*Almost* all of Kasie West
All of Kiera Cass (including The Selection series) 
Lunar Chronicles 
*Almost* all of Shannon Hale’s books 
All the Emily Windsnap books 
She’s working her way through Melanie Dickerson’s Hagenheim series now. 
The Witch of Blackbird Pond 

Would love your help!!
I mean, how could I not??? 😆 Happy early Valentine I mean, how could I not??? 😆 Happy early Valentine’s, ladies.

YAMFR is on Kindle Unlimited so go check out this fun-filled, feel-good romance! 💝

Your girl has written NEW words. I had to crack Your girl has written NEW words. 

I had to crack the knuckles, loosen the neck, and dust the cobwebs off my writing skills, because it’s been a FULL YEAR since I wrote new words. And I felt it. My writing muscles are weak, but I’m enjoying getting back into the routine of working on a new project. 

I’m about to hit 15K and I’m warming up, getting to know my characters better, and looking forward to getting into the meat of this story! (Right before the muddy middle where I say—where am I? And what am I doing???) 😆 Can’t waaaaait!!!
