"VOYA is the only magazine that matters for librarians working with young adults. . . . Simply the best there is."—Patrick Jones, public librarian and author of Connecting Young Adults and Libraries, 2nd Ed. (Neal-Schuman, 1998).

"We're living in the golden age of literature written expressly for 12 to 18 year olds. Too much to keep up with? Not when you have a subscription to VOYA. From the opening page of any issue, it's apparent that VOYA knows adolescents and the professionals who are dedicated to them."—Will Hobbs, young adult novelist and longtime English and reading teacher.

"The articles and editorials in VOYA could light the fire of enthusiasm under the most hesitant librarian! There is a place for young adults in our libraries, and VOYA is a great resource for help with creating that space."—Lorraine McQuarrie, library school student.

"Although most teens don't know of its existence, Voice of Youth Advocates is one of their most ardent champions. The expert guidance of VOYA, a publication devoted exclusively to assisting professionals in providing books, information, and services for teens, is creating a legacy that is unmatched in the library and teaching fields."—Don Gallo, author, editor, and former professor of English.

"I have been delighted and amazed by the content of VOYA since grad school, when I perused one copy and ended up reading right through an entire year's issues. Its fresh, teen-advocacy approach and reviews of book underrepresented in other review journals—science fiction, fantasy, and paperback originals—still make me look forward to every issue today."—Joel Shoemaker, junior high school library media specialist and author with Patrick Jones of Do It Right! Best Practices for Serving Young Adults in School and Public Libraries (Neal-Schumann, 2001).
