Russell Smith The only thing that makes a book YA is that it is about teenagers, and it is written in a very conventional, non-artsy, non-pretentious way. YA is not the place for the oblique or the cryptic. If it is in any way experimental in form, it is not YA. – Russell Smith Book Quotes Conventional Quotes Cryptic Quotes Experimental Quotes Form Quotes Nonartsy Quotes Nonpretentious Quotes Oblique Quotes Teenagers Quotes Written Quotes Ya Quotes The YA category is an entirely new one, and seems to have more to do with readability than with age group or theme. The adult YA readers I know do actually consistently say that they are looking for an easy read, a fun read, an unchallenging read. What makes a publisher decide to market a book to a particular audience is not the subject matter but the style.
