YA
YA author Carter (Embassy Row and Heist Society series, among others) provides advice for teen writers on craft and other aspects of the writing life in a question-and-answer format, also posing questions to other YA authors for a range of perspectives. The book takes teens and their aspirations seriously and includes plenty of practical insights. The conversational tone makes for an accessible read.
