I want to write a shit, poorly written book for tweens like Twilight and The Hunger Games.
What are the prerequisites for such a book?

Mediocrity as a writer. You're well on your way, OP!
Understand women so much that you are one.

Not even women understand women.

They do, that's why they hate each other.

No prereqs. You just have to tell a good story. That easy, mate.

90% of YA is tailor-made for female reader insertion, so... do that.

1. Young adults.
2. A bunch of fantastical crap.
> use lazy, unoriginal post-apocalyptic backdrop that relies on too many already well-established tropes
> divide people into artificial groups for no practical reason beyond a shiny name tag
> establish female protagonist who is quirky and unique for no actual reason based on her personality or characterization but only because you insist on it
> also insist that your totally original female protagonist DON'T NEED NO MAN while simultaneously introducing no less than three individual male love interests who look and act almost exactly the same and probably have autism
> Normally this is the part in the development process where you would start to hammer out some meaningful character development but you can go ahead and just skip right over this
> Adopt basic hero's journey plot line wherein no one is truly heroic nor is there really any meaningful journey
> Resolve the plot inconsequentially, preferably in such a way that the outcome would have been inevitable even with absolutely no meaningful influence from any of your major or minor characters
> ???
> Profit

Phase 1. Write a bland female lead. The less distinctive characteristics she has the better.
Phase 2. Have a bunch of hot guys lust after her.
Phase 3. ???
Phase 4. Profit!!!
