In the final minisode of 2020, we each selected a news item to capture a trend in YA for the year.

Brenna looks at an evidence-based study out of the UK that has found improvements in the percentage of published authors of colour

• Flood, Allison. "Number of young adult writers of colour doubles to almost 20%" The Guardian. Sept 29, 2020

Joe , meanwhile, tackles the dominance of Netflix as the main exhibitor of YA TV and films, courtesy of The Ringer.

• Baker, Katie. "The New Generation of Teen Movies Is Nicer (and on Netflix)" The Ringer. Aug 28, 2010

Plus: starting January 2021, we're starting a Book Club! Read The House on Mango Street with us for Jan 19.
