This is why it's hot!
The best part about being an author is, people think you know things. So they call you and ask you questions and you can spout off about anything you want.
So, when Wendy Coakley Thompson called wanting to inquire why YA is so hot, right now, I went on and on. And contrary to the aspects of the Sormag chat where it was debated if it were hot or not, YA is hot. There's a lot of focus on it, certain YA best sellers are getting total mainstream attention (Hello, Hunger Games) and well, I write it...so um, by association it's hot!
Check Wendy's article, leave a comment on her article and weigh in - is YA hot or not? And how come?

Well said. I left a comment, and a lovely mention of Jumped. Which totally made the next What do I read next feature.
YA is hot its one of the few sections in the bookstore where more books are coming in and not going out. MG is holding strong as well.
