It’s no secret that there’s a flourishing Young Adult lit community on Twitter. Authors, bloggers, editors, readers and everyone in between get together to swap book recs, start hashtags, and tweet the hours away. But YA authors on Tumblr is a different story.
While there are plenty of YA blogs, life as a YA fan on Tumblr is a little more self-contained than it is on Twitter. And authors may abound on Tumblr, but they’re generally less active and less fluent in how it works. It’s kind of like watching grandparents on Facebook. Not that there’s anything wrong with that! But Tumblr just isn’t easy to pick up unless you spend an unholy amount of time on it (whoops).
But there are exceptions to the rule. Below are five YA authors on Tumblr who are must-follows. I steered clear of the big YA names in favor of PoC authors with both amazing books and pretty awesome Tumblrs. Their blogs have everything from cute gifsets and artsy photos to thought-provoking text posts and social justice reblogs. Check out some of the best YA authors on Tumblr.
