so you like YA?! discussion

Hi guys! I'm new here, but I'm a huge YA fan and think this is a fantastic idea. I'm definitely hoping to participate a ton in the future, but for now, I'm working on my dissertation in my Masters in Publishing. I'm currently looking into how best to improve the YA market to better include teen and adult readers alike. If you could take my survey, that'd be beautiful! And I will see you guys soon for some solid discussion on YA!

I really like your survey! I am an adult who reads a lot of YA. I have read some New Adult books, but not enough to say that I love it.

I haven't read any New Adult, but I never see anything beyond your typical paranormal romance which makes me wonder if publishers just haven't cracked the code for success yet... I'm kinda hoping whatever research I get out of my dissertation on YA I can use to apply to New Adult to help speed it along. Because obviously YA's doing something right right now... :)

I love YA and NA so I took the survey. I can't believe that all you've found is paranormal! I know you didn't ask for suggestions but here's 3 NA series that I loved and are contemporary.

haha thank you! just cuz i didn't ask doesn't mean recs aren't welcome. There's always time for a book rec. ;)

I love !
That is a New Adult book that I have read and almost cried from. I have seen a few paranormal New Adult, but I prefer contemporary New Adult that deals with tough issues, like the book above did.
