"...I was not intimidated by writing my second book. Probably because in terms of a real count, it was more like novel number eight for me. I started my first novel when I was 14, and wrote several more before I got to 'Fake ID.'" .@LRGiles #amwriting yareview.net/2015/05/5-quest…

"My experience with WNDB has changed the way I read and write. I’m more cognizant of how I portray anyone from a culture that’s different from my now. I think back on the mistakes I’ve made in the past" .@LRGiles on his involvement in #WeNeedDiverseBooks yareview.net/2015/05/5-quest…

Today we celebrate YARN alum .@LRGiles! Lamar is an award-winning author & founding member of the #WeNeedDiverseBooks movement. His recent anthology, FRESH INK, features stories by some of today’s most popular authors including .@JasonReynolds83 and @NicolaYoon.

"As for what I wished I’d had as a teenage writer, it’s simple: Permission....It took me years to find the confidence and the permission from myself to pursue being published." .@novaren on what she wishes she learned about writing as a teen #amwriting yareview.net/2016/03/intervi…

"So much of beginning a new novel for me is about finding the story, finding the characters, finding the voice… and sometimes the searching can take me a long while." .@novaren on her writing process #amwriting #ya yareview.net/2016/03/intervi…

"Tell the story that’s in your heart. Tell the story that’s been in you waiting to be told. That will let your work be its most beautiful and its truest." .@LaAnnaMarie on writing #ownvoices #amwriting yareview.net/2017/07/intervi…

"My best advice for short stories is to keep your heart open to what an idea may want to be. Sometimes an idea wants to become a novel, sometimes a short story, sometimes a song, a poem, a painting." .@LaAnnaMarie on writing short stories #amwriting yareview.net/2017/07/intervi…

"I always say follow the one you can’t stop thinking about. The idea that stays with you is the one you’ll stay with." .@LaAnnaMarie on finding the story you need to write. #amwriting #ya yareview.net/2017/07/intervi…
