Some do. Some agents say a 18 yo college freshman can't qualify as YA. Some would consider it.<br /><br />If I see an agent considers NA, I'll call it that. If not, YA. Some don't say NA too, some call it a crossover.<br /><br />So who knows.<br /><br />And none of my others have college students, so that's why I consider myself a YA writer.Suzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16502606950280751205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6650080146272323615.post-70223020543604865082013-02-08T20:03:20.872+00:002013-02-08T20:03:20.872+00:00I think I agree with you.

New Adult seems to be the craze nowadays! But I agree with you - anyone who thinks I'm fabulous is my ideal reader!Chloehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00183206722136871230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6650080146272323615.post-78171888238297520582013-02-08T16:45:21.727+00:002013-02-08T16:45:21.727+00:00I've never really had an ideal reader in mind....I've never really had an ideal reader in mind. I've often wondered whether I should and once or twice made half-hearted attempts, but they lasted as long as New Year resolutions!<br /><br />My theory is that most forms of art, whether it's prose, poetry, painting or whatever, arise from something you want to express, channelled in a way you want to express it.

(I say readers cause many adults like YA.) I have many a story in which I want to make the reader cry. Current one included. But they always have a good ending. So I guess I want them to cry at some points, be happy at others.Suzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16502606950280751205noreply@blogger.com
