One way to find an editor for your YA fantasy novels is to look at the acknowledgments section of popular YA fantasy books in the same sub - genre as yours. Authors often thank their editors there. You can then try to contact those editors or look for similar editors in their agencies. You can also post in relevant forums and describe the kind of editing you need, whether it's developmental editing, copyediting, or proofreading, and see who responds.
You could try reaching out to local writing groups or universities. Often, there are students or enthusiasts who are eager to work on YA fantasy novels as editors. They can bring fresh perspectives and might be more affordable than professional editors.
An editor for YA fantasy novels should have a strong understanding of the YA genre. They need to know what appeals to the young adult audience, such as relevant themes like coming - of - age, identity, and first love. Also, they should be well - versed in fantasy elements like world - building, magic systems, and mythical creatures.
A must - read in YA epic fantasy is 'The Inheritance Cycle' by Christopher Paolini. It's about a young farm boy named Eragon who discovers a dragon egg and embarks on a journey to overthrow an evil king. The world - building is extensive, with different races, languages, and magic systems. 'Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children' by Ransom Riggs also fits the bill. It has a blend of vintage photographs and a strange, magical world where children with special abilities live in a time - loop.
Another great YA novel is 'Harry Potter' series by J.K. Rowling. It follows the life of a young wizard, Harry Potter, and his friends at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It's full of magic, mystery, and friendship. The characters are well - developed and the world - building is amazing. It has inspired generations of readers and has become a cultural phenomenon.
One great YA romance novel is 'The Fault in Our Stars' by John Green. It tells the story of Hazel and Augustus, two teenagers with cancer who fall in love. Their relationship is beautifully portrayed, filled with humor, deep conversations, and a bittersweet quality. Another is 'To All the Boys I've Loved Before' by Jenny Han. Lara Jean writes love letters to all her past crushes and somehow they all get sent out. It's a cute and heartwarming story of first love and family relationships. And 'Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda' by Becky Albertalli is also wonderful. Simon is a gay teen trying to figure out his identity while also dealing with a blackmail situation regarding his emails to a mysterious boy he likes.
One great new YA dystopian novel is 'The Ones We Burn' by Rebecca Mix. It has a unique take on a dystopian world filled with magic and political intrigue. Another is 'Scythe' by Neal Shusterman, which presents a world where death has been conquered, but at a cost. And 'The Giver' by Lois Lowry remains a classic in the YA dystopian genre that's well worth reading for its exploration of a seemingly perfect but ultimately controlling society.
