For those interested in such things, I'll be teaching a ten-week course on writing Young Adult fiction in the Irish Writers' Centre, Dublin, starting September 21st 2010.
For more information, see the Irish Writers' Centre's website (http://www.writerscentre.ie/html/courses/youngadult.html):
If this floats your boat and / or rings your bell, then please sign up! It'll be a blast! If, however, this news leaves your bell silent and your boat land-locked, please pass it on to everyone anyway - there's bound to be someone you know who's itching to write a YA novel but just doesn't know where to begin...
