100+ Places to Market Your YA Book
Young Adult fiction is one of the most popular fiction categories today, appealing not only to adolescents and young adults, but also to a lot of adults. Many YA books, since they are written for and targeted to individuals aged 13-18, deal with problems that the target audience might encounter, as well as coming-of-age situations that young adults can relate to. YA straddles a wide spectrum of genres, from slice of life to science fiction, to fantasy, to an amalgamation of different genres, and as such, caters to a lot of tastes. A lot of people read and like YA, and of course, a lot of people write and talk about YA.
Below, you’ll find a list of blogs, websites, magazines, and online communities dedicated to talking about young adult fiction and the genres that fall under it.
This post is a work in progress! We will continue to add more links for you!
