Reading and Writing Resources

Book Riot is the largest independent editorial book site in North America and home to a host of media, from podcasts to newsletters to original content, all designed around diverse readers and across all genres. We’ve been recommending buzzy and under-the-radar books, celebrating the reading life, reporting on headlines from the world of books and publishing, and bringing readers the progressive, feminist, inclusive bookish content they love since 2011.

Epic Reads is a platform dedicated to young adult (YA) literature, offering book recommendations, author interviews, and community discussions for teen readers.

Created in 2009, Forever Young Adult is a community for YA fans who are a little less “Y” and a bit more “A.” FYA is a place where bookworms can get lit(erary) and swoon over fictional characters without shame, all while sipping on a cocktail. From book reviews to TV crushes to movie drinking games, it’s basically a non-stop internet slumber party, and you’re totally invited! Plus, if you’re looking to hang IRL, we’ve got an international network of book clubs buzzing with kindred spirits.

Reading Rants is a website featuring unconventional booklists and reviews aimed at teenagers seeking engaging reads. Established in 1998 by Jennifer Hubert, it has transitioned to Instagram under the handle @reading_rants_redux for more frequent updates.

Teen Ink offers some of the most thoughtful and creative work generated by teens today. We have no staff writers or artists; we depend completely on submissions from teenagers around the world for our content. Teenink.com has over 480,000 registered users and continues to grow every day.
