Ultimate YA
Ultimate YA is an organization that promotes young adult (YA) literature and reading. We feature one young adult author every month. Each feature includes a short biography of the author, as well as fun facts and an interview. If you would like to be featured, please send an email inquiry to ultiamteyareadinggroup@gmail.com.
In addition to our features, we post quotes and memes of the week that relate to books, writing, and/or reading on Tuesdays and Thursdays, respectively. We also post anything else that we find interesting regarding reading and writing.

@Ultimate YA
- I was only 20 when I started teaching high school in Houston, but I lied and told my students I was forty. I tried to dress the part by shopping in the old-lady section of department stores.
- I got a tattoo that made me a better writer and person (sort of). The story is here.
- My (undesired) nickname in high school and college was “Cookie Girl.”
- My now-husband used to send me notes at the school where we taught. He stapled them around the edges so his student messengers couldn’t read them.
- I’m actually a very shy person, even though most people can’t tell. Teaching has made me less shy. I blog about shyness here.
- I’m still pissed that I can’t get the accent mark in our son’s last name onto his Indiana birth certificate. Grrr.
- I used to have an irrational fear of odd numbers. I’m over it now, though. Bring on the threes!
