I had the opportunity to read Brooding YA Hero: Becoming a Main Character (Almost) as Awesome as Me, a "self-help" guide full of quizzes, activities, and examination of YA tropes all from the perspective of Broody McHottiepants, the male hero we all know and love.

Erin Beaty, author of The Traitor's Kiss, writes about the state of feminism within young adult fantasy novels. You don't have to be masculine to be a hero.

The video is downright lovely, and totally inspirational.

Writer M.A. Larson is set to conclude his children's fantasy series Pennyroyal Academy with this latest installment, The Warrior Princess of Pennyroyal Academy, and we've got your first look at the cover.

You may have noticed YouTube's subscription service, YouTube Red and its slate of digital series that capitalize on its stable of digital creators. Reality series like Escape the Night and Scare PewDiePie in addition to narrative series like Foursome have already been doing well (and have already been renewed), but now YouTube Red is looking to ramp up their programming game by reaching out to more mainstream creators.

All-ages comics are all the rage, and at the forefront of that trend is Papercutz, the country's #1 publisher of kids' graphic novels.

Max Ride: First Flight was an awesome comics adaptation of the first book of James Patterson's Maximum Ride YA series of novels about a girl named Max who, along with her chosen family of fellow orphans has been experimented on and genetically enhanced against their wills. If you loved the first installment, get ready for more! Marvel has announced exclusively to TMS that they will be doing a second story arc in the series - Max Ride: Ultimate Flight!

At NYCC 2014, Marvel announced that they're going to try to break into the YA novel market with a new book centered on Black Widow. The book, Black Widow: Forever Red, is being written by Margaret Stohl (Beautiful Creatures), and the brand new details make it sound incredibly exciting.

Marie Rutkoski's The Winner's Curse made a huge splash in YA lit when it arrived, and people loved it for Kestral, its strong female lead, and its intricate portrayal of a world embroiled in imperialist politics.
