#Publishers, we are asking for a new category of literature that falls in between middle grade and young adult. Middle schoolers need Young Teen Lit and librarians are eager to purchase! #youngteenlit should have the following 5 elements (1/6)

I added you to the starter pack.

#TLSky is an image representing the hashtag for school librarians to use on BlueSky. It is blue and white with a background of clouds. The logo of a butterfly is included to represent BlueSky

I totally agree and hope that publishers read your open letter in SLJ. I work with 11-14 year olds, and publishers seem to miss the 13-14 yo range. Or they publish a book with a 13 y.o. character then add a young, cartoon-style cover. My students won’t check out young looking covers.

Excellent tips for everyone

Great list. Could you add me, please? Thanks!

I would like to be added. Thanks!
