Ben’s answer to “Why middle grade? What is it that attracts you to this genre?” > Likes and Comments

What a fantastic article Ben I love it and will definitely direct traffic towards it where I can.

My answer to the question however is far more more simplistic.
- I believe it is an overlooked and a genre crucial to a child's development.
- My twin boys are of an age where they appreciate the genre and I love writing stories that they love.
- I enjoy writing books that still allow children to reserve a touch of innocence whilst opening their eyes to possibilities.
- My favourite and most influential books were Middle grade books.

Great to connect with you by the way, it's fantastic to see that you have a true passion for writing middle grade which is rare to find!

I love that! Couldn't agree more on all points. :)
Yes, great to connect with like-minded folks who CARE about our kids. Cheers.
