This week YA Author Talia Dutton took over our Twitter as a part of our weekly Thursday Twitter Takeover. Talia Dutton is the author of M is for Monster (See YEM’s interview of Talia Dutton here.) See highlights from the takeover below.
For anyone who hasn't yet encountered M is for Monster in the wild- It's a Frankenstein inspired story about expectations and identity wrapped up in a stitched together body and a ghost story! It looks like this 😀 pic.twitter.com/8tl5i62Eir

The answer to that last one is: long answer: whatever I can fit into my mouth before my cat launches herself at me to take a bite. Short answer: Minecraft Eggos. #YAauthorTakeover

Do any of you have any favorite YA graphic novels? I just read Superman Smashes the Klan by @geneluenyang and @Gurihiru it was amazing!

I originally wanted to tell a lot of stories about different kinds of monsters finding a safe haven in each other at a kind of secret monster nightclub but it turned out to be a bit too much to tackle for my first book. I hope to return to it at some point! #YAauthorTakeover

Mostly I watched @drawfee and Minecraft Videos, but I also went through 13 out of 15 seasons of Criminal Minds… #YaAuthorTakeover

My go-tos are the soundtracks from Celeste, Slime Rancher, Stardew Valley, and Undertale, but I'm always open to suggestions!

Just- be sure to hold other people to the standard of loving you for whoever you are or end up being- not just who they want you to be. Thanks for having me here for this #YAAuthorTakeover – come visit me anytime @Agent_Talia and don’t be afraid to be a little monstrous (2/2)
