Young’s non-fiction output reflects her dual role as a writer and active participant in the self-publishing community. Sell Your Books! (2012) was one of the earlier practical guides aimed at independent authors, and Opening Up to Indie Authors (2014) addresses bookstores, libraries, and literary event organizers, arguing for greater inclusion of self-published titles in traditional literary spaces.
How To Get Your Self-Published Book Into Bookstores (2017) is a later, more focused guide on the same theme. These three books position Young as a knowledgeable advocate for independent publishing, and she has remained active in the Alliance of Independent Authors and similar organizations.
The remaining two titles – All Part of the Charm (2016) and Young By Name (2016) – are personal rather than instructional. The memoir covers village life in a light, affectionate register, and the column collection gathers her journalism from a local Cotswold paper. Together, the five non-fiction books show a writer engaged with both the practicalities of the publishing industry and the pleasures of English rural life.
