    • Abstract:
      The article discusses the use of MySpace by novelist Sarah Mlynowski to talk to her peers. She was turned on to the teen networking site by fellow writer John Green. She started the Teen Lit group, intending to build an online community for YA authors. The Teen Lit group considered MySpace as a valuable networking tool as well as a promotional one. David Levithan, editor of Scholastic's edgy YA imprint Push, said it seemed logical to start talking to other writers online instead of focusing solely on readers.
