As a composer

In 2013 Young released Libertaria: The Virtual Opera, a 55-minute machinima movie with original script, soundtrack and animated visuals all created by Young herself. The title "Virtual Opera" refers to the fact that there were no real-world rehearsals and the cast contributed their recordings from around the world via the internet. The movie can be viewed online and there is an accompanying soundtrack recording and novelisation available.

As an author

In 2016 Young self-published Composer Boot Camp 101: 50 Exercises for Educators, Students and Music Professionals, a book of composition exercises from beginner to expert level covering 5 topics: "inspiration", "melody", "rhythm", "harmony" and "orchestration". Speaking of the book Young says "I decided to “demystify” writing music by putting together a helpful music workbook that any musician or teacher could pick up to practically learn how to write music."
