So many great women authors in YA today!!<br />I saw Jane Yolen last week (as a poet!) at Texas Library Association conference, as well as Melissa Marr & Kelly Armstrong(whose new middle grade book Loki's Wolves is just out; as M.A. Marr & K.L. Anderson to distinguish from their edgier teen and adult fiction) and many others.<br /><br />On BooksYALove.com, I try to feature debut authors and smaller publishers, so drop by and read recommendations for great books by Stasia Ward Kehoe, Bethany Wiggins, Cat Winters and so many more. You'd have enough to do an entire new alphabet of women YA writers next year!!Katy Manck, MLShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06271516779182899993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271157837542030455.post-54966846705047510492013-04-30T08:44:56.782-05:002013-04-30T08:44:56.782-05:00I thought of her too after I made my comment.

For "Y", I would've said Lisa Yee, who writes for Scholastic and is edited by Arthur Levine. Now, tomorrow, I predict that you'll finish up with Gabrielle Zevin ... hope so; she's wonderful.

I've heard such great things about it, so I'm kind of excited. :)<br /><br />As for my favourite influential woman author, I'm going to have to go with Maggie Stiefvater. That woman is amazing! Aside from her awesome writing, she's just an incredibly interesting woman.

Cornelia Funke, Laurie Halse Anderson is one of my all-time favorites, Veronica Roth is awesome, Meg Cabot, and Keira Cass's The Selection Trilogy, Lauren Oliver's "before I die," and Robin LaFevers. I wish April Lindner would write more-- her style of writing is contagious. Oh, and, Marissa Meyer (I haven't read her books but her personal advice to me after a book signing was unforgettable. And, I've met A LOT of authors as a bookseller.) These women have been influential in many ways and am grateful to have met and/or read their books.Chris Dessonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12923699574241563330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271157837542030455.post-49265320633280434122013-04-29T08:52:30.765-05:002013-04-29T08:52:30.765-05:00I second A.S.
