The YA Desk is by Stewart Ferris, a writer and publisher. His wider hub for craft, handbooks and novels is stewartferris.com. The free companion studios sit beside this desk: historical fiction, found time, word count, first lines, names, and character dossiers.
This site exists because YA is easy to patronise and hard to do. It gathers the definitions, shelves, tropes, lengths and routes to publication that a debut needs on one desk, without pretending that a checklist will write the book.

What this is not
It is not a vanity workshop, not a ghostwriting service, and not a substitute for reading the actual novels. Steal the map. Write the miles.
