Our main character, Fale, was raised by an adoptive father after her parents were murdered. But thankfully with the book’s accessible writing and fast-paced plot, I kinda didn’t mind. Unfortunately, Jennifer Haskin’s The Key of F falls into the same trope-y trap. YA is so riddled with these writing cliches that a twitter account has emerged to hilarious result. From Divergent to The Red Queen, most current YA dystopians contain variations on the same tune. The “not-like-any-other-girl” teenaged main character, the brooding love interest, the woulda-coulda best friend, unfair and random class systems and a totalitarian government.

Having read many popular YA fantasy-dystopians, I’ve begun to recognize certain recurring themes. Come find her on social media and say hi and if you enjoy her books, she would be, like, Nutella-Ice-Cream-Happy if you’d leave a review. She is honored to be a new judge for the annual writing contest Ink & Insights in 2020. When she is not drinking a grande iced white mocha and writing a book or editing manuscripts, she's running a weekly writers' workshop. Jenn lives in Kansas with her hubsalot and five teenagers, who provide plenty of YA angst to help her writing come alive. Her WIP is a dark YA Steampunk series and she blogs her own journey weekly with writing, editing, publishing and marketing advice. An author herself, she works on marketing her YA fantasy romance trilogy and writing a new series, all while helping authors perfect their books as Associate Editor for Touchpoint Press. She spent a few years learning the ropes of the publishing world as a literary agent, and then a publishing consultant, helping authors ready their submission materials to get the best shot at the contract of their dreams.
