FAQ

  • What is YA?

    Young Adult books (YA) are books geared toward readers either ages 12-16 or 16-20. For the former, these are books that feature slightly older characters and can be easier reads, have fun scenarios, highlight strong friendships, or have cleaner romances (maybe the characters don't even kiss). Books for the older audiences are ones that have characters in their late teens maybe early twenties, and they can talk about hard, real topics, or even have some spice.

    The beauty about YA is that it bridges ages as sometimes younger readers thrive with older books and other times older readers crave younger-themed books. Believe it or not, a lot of adults read YA, which is how you get phenomenons like Twilight and The Hunger Games!

    Keep in mind that each reader is different so what you like, may not be what someone else likes or is ready to read.
