@reba_adler I am 25 and still consider myself a young adult with no idea what’s happening or how to cope so yes. YA+ should absolutely be a thing. #YAplus whenever I do get to write my novel it’ll absolutely be about a main character at LEAST 21 years old. (1/2)
So if you're looking for a writer to appear on your blog banging this drum, or you want to Q&A me, or you want a writer to support this in any way. I'm in. I write for 17-23 year olds and beyond. Yes, it's YA...but older. Much older. #YAplus. So what we gonna call that?
Deep ontological and esoteric themes. It has a complicated timeline. It has a character who swears and drinks. She's not a child, but she's far from adult. The theme of second chances isn't one for younger YA, that's about firsts. Yet #YAplus is put in the kids section. Wrong.
I'm so happy to see big literary names chatting about the need for better classification of older YA books. As you all know I've been banging the #YAPlus drum for a few weeks. #thepathkeeper is NOT for young teens. It's not adult either. It has a 19 yo MC. It has sex. It has...
@VeroniKaboom Yep, everyone is talking about this lately and it's my personal battle. I write and constantly talk about #YAplus. My characters are 19-23 in my first two books, with issues to match...let's stop branding them YA then getting upset about sex and profanities. YA+ is grownup YA.
@margotwood @margotwood TOTALLY agree. My publisher has coined the phrase #YAplus after THE PATH KEEPER got accused of being too adult. Well it is, it's about a 19 year old and includes sex, drinking and profanities. It's not YA, and it's not adult... It's for older YA lovers who want more.
@atrueblood5 As a British writer, I never realised how contentious profanities in books is for US readers. Never got one complaint in the UK, but apparently a 19 year old saying rude words and having sex for fun is a huge no no. So my work is labelled #YAPlus now. 🤷♀️
@smenonbooks @atrueblood5 This is why my publisher has coined the term #YAplus. If it's YA, it should be appropriate for 14+, but if it's #YAplus expect older teen themes, swearing and sex. We definitely need to segment YA. It's too difficult for librarians, parents and readers to know what's a good fit.
@LillyMSantiago @laurenspieller Completety agree. In fact I was over at @Bibliophagist90 last week talking about #YAplus. Here's my article on why we need to bridge the gap. I write for older teens/early 20s but my books are in stores under YA because there's no other category 🤷♀️

@laurenspieller This is what happens when the publishing industry decides YA is 13-19 and NA doesn't exist. There's a huge gap for readers who want MCs aged 18-23. My work is classified #YAplus for this reason. It's for much older teens. We need to subcategorise YA and early 20s lit better!
@theellieeffect Did you catch my #YAplus chat over at @Bibliophagist90 yesterday? Too much YA is actually repackaged NA, and I'm all for writing for 18-23 year olds 😍
@NJSimmondsTPK @c8_marie @BHCPressBooks Thank you so much @NJSimmondsTPK for talking with us about #YAPlus and how important it is. Get some sleep and we will continue supporting all readers and writers

@Bibliophagist90 @c8_marie @BHCPressBooks Bridge a gap that has no name. YA is vital and teens deserve it, but for older teens who are approaching adulthood then there are books like #thepathkeeper and #YAplus is what it is. Still YA, plus more. More mature, more challenging and I hope something everyone can enjoy. 💜✨
@Bibliophagist90 @c8_marie @BHCPressBooks Firstly thanks sooo much @Bibliophagist90 for hosting me. It was a great chat and I hope others join in later (it's my bedtime here in the Netherlands). Also, as a writer, I strongly believe in listening to readers. It's our duty to write what people want and #YAplus seems to 1/
@NJSimmondsTPK @c8_marie @BHCPressBooks As we wrap up, what do you want people to take away from this? Do you have anything else to say?
