HEY check out my Speakeasy class on NaNoWriMo coming up on October 12, 8pm EDT!

“What Does John Milton Have To Do With YA??” is brought to you in large part by by my patrons, who received an early, expanded version of this episode. You can join our Fabulist community with a pledge on Patreon as low as $1 a month! You can also support at Ko-Fi! The rewards may vary slightly, but all get the archive and bonus episodes!

Yup, we’re talking, a little late, about the YA Ratings debacle, but through the lens of dead white guy John Milton.

Yeah, he was a cranky old man, writer of super long Bible fanfic, and helped with regicide a little bit, but he also was a strong anti-censorship advocate. Which, considering you could lose your head for writing something offensive, was pretty damn brave.

My Milton professor made anything sound good. He was so excited about Milton that he made us excited. And Aeropagitica has stuck with me, even if the attention span to re-read it has not.
