New Member- YA novel interests - please help!

Post by bodyboardJul » July 8th, 2020, 2:06 am

Hi everyone!
My name is Julia and I found this site today and am logging on here for the first time.

I've published a couple non-fiction books in my professional area (social science) and lots of journal articles. Recently, unexplicably, I was driven to write a YA novel that is a coming-of-age thing that spans science fiction, mystery and romance.
My 'muse' is an 80 year old retired editor/writer who is wildly enthusiastic of my work. I've also had 4 teens read an early draft. So far so good!

Now I to need to start to understand the world of fiction publishing and wish to find others for mutual reading/critiquing of novel sections.

I feel terribly clueless so appreciate any pointers on how to best become a good community member!

Thank you,
Julia

P.S. I currently live in Hawaii and body boarding is a favorite past time.
