Synopsis

Differentiating between books for young adult readers and books for middle grade readers is important for more than just marketing. Understanding the distinction between these two readerships is key for anyone and everyone involved in reading, writing, editing, and publishing books for young readers. Middle Grade or Young Adult? Defining and Understanding Young Readerships is here to set the record straight. From considering definitions, expectations, and differentiating factors between these two readerships to exploring examples of books labeled for middle grade and young adult readers, this book will leave readers with a definitive understanding of where the line is drawn between middle grade and young adult readerships. In addition, readers will take the time to consider how a book series can successfully transition from a middle grade to young adult readership, and explore an example of how that transition can take place. By the end of this book, readers will be able to confidently identify and categorize books intended for middle grade and young adult readers.
