Women's Issues

• For YA and Middle Grade:
  
• Books that challenge the reader intellectually and emotionally, from the high-concept and fantastical to the frank, fresh, and contemporary.

• Stories featuring characters with -- or in search of-- strong passions, talents, or smarts.
  
• Edgy YA that’s not afraid to explore complex social issues, middle grade and YA with elements of magical realism, books with strong female protagonists, dystopian fiction, books with a diverse cast of characters, verse novels, and – most importantly – books with a voice that makes the reader think, “This narrator gets me.”

• Books that explore social issues relevant to women of all ages. Think Perfect Girls, Starving Daughters; The Purity Myth; Pledged; The Morning After; Enlightened Sexism.
