genres or is this just a marketing gimmick? What distinguishes this genre from other categories? \u00a0When I was in this age category I read grown up fiction to <i>prove<\/i> I was an adult.\u00a0 Children\u2019s books consisted of Enid Blyton and the classics of <em>Robinson Crusoe<\/em>, <em>Treasure Island<\/em> and <em>Kidnapped<\/em>.\u00a0 I also read <em>The Hobbit<\/em>.\u00a0 I have of course read as an adult the Harry Potter series with my own children but also for myself.\u00a0 Being from the Neolithic age pre-Internet, I regard all these stories as children\u2019s books.\u00a0 Classic books were what we studied at school in English classes, I love Shakespeare, I have read Jane Austin, some Dickens, are these YA?\u00a0 Do I have to reclassify Romeo and Juliet as a YA targeted story?\u00a0 So maybe it\u2019s my upbringing and age that causes my confusion and I am back to what exactly is this genre.\u00a0 I browsed the list of books on Goodreads: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/list\/tag\/young-adult\">http:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/list\/tag\/young-adult<\/a> and I am none the wiser.\u00a0 There were 549 group discussions tagged as YA on Goodreads, but the definition still escapes me.\u00a0 I certainly do not wish to offend any of the clearly millions of YA readers or the thousands of YA Authors. \u00a0So what is it that distinguishes this category?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What The Hell Is YA &#8211;

My second book <em>To The Survivors<\/em> has several YA age group characters.&nbsp; Is <em>Lord of the Flies<\/em> a YA novel?&nbsp; Who decided that this category even exists?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What The Hell Is YA &#8211;

The US TV market (excluding cable), gives us a guide, no sex, no swearing but endless violence is fine.&nbsp; <i>Twilight<\/i> the books and movies have chaste kisses and dreamy looks whilst violence and death surround the protagonists.&nbsp; Is this YA? &nbsp;If it is, then no thanks.&nbsp; If I ever write a children\u2019s story it will not have sex, violence or swearing.&nbsp; My other fiction will be written for\u2026. Well I suppose I am writing for me.&nbsp; I have blogged previously on this subject so I\u2019ll try not to repeat myself.&nbsp; For the YA market, I think if you are a YA then you will like my books because they feature adult themes, but they are not in YA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019m not in YA, I don\u2019t understand the category maybe someone else can explain the definition of this alleged genre to me.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading52_91709c-92,
