Thanks.
When I was studying for my MFA, YA fiction was considered very
uncool. We all wrote very Raymond Carverish type of short fiction--gloomy and spare and poetically tragic.
We didn't know then how much of that effect was achieved by sheer editing.
It wasn't until I started writing and editing for bread and butter that I realized how much I enjoyed writing for young people.
