The older version of this was on someone's awesome YA blog and recently got deleted or discontinued, so I decided to make an updated master list for 2017 that I'll be posting on my blog.
This list includes all publishers and imprints of young adult fiction, including Big 5, mid-sized (still having trouble defining that exactly), and small presses (some publishers go between mid-sized and small). Knopf confused me, for instance, since it's a publishing group but it's also owned by Random House.
Please let me know if I'm missing anything, have confused anything, or need to add an imprint or publisher
