A short summation of what I've been wondering/hoping about for YA:
DEAR YA:
If your protagonist is described as an honors student (as most seem to be), they'll more likely be kissing a textbook than a sparkly supernatural creature.
Sincerley,
Choco, currently-kissing-a-textbook
DEAR YA:
Where do your main characters find the time to save the world and everything?
Sincerely,
Choco, swamped.
DEAR YA:
It'd be cool if maybe some more of your characters were over 18.
Sincerely,
Choco, who likes this New Adult thing.
DEAR YA:
I wish there were more minority main characters. And more socioeconmically diverse characters.
Sincerly,
Choco, who would like wider representation.
What are some of your Dear YAs?
