Best Of The Week for 5/20

A list of what I feel are the best writing articles or advice I've had the pleasure to read over the last week. They may not always have been written in the past week, but the past week is when I read them.

This weeks best of the week contains a lot of links about the lack of (racial) diversity in YA, I was doing a lot of research toward that myself.


Here is an entire tumblr devoted to diversity in literature, mostly YA : http://richincolor.tumblr.com/
