Description
Young-adult fiction (often abbreviated as YA) refers to fiction that is written for, published for, or marketed to adolescents and young adults, typically between the ages of 13 and 18.
YA fiction—whether in the form of novels or short stories—has unique qualities that set it apart from other age categories. Most YA stories feature an adolescent protagonist, rather than an adult or a child. While the themes and plotlines generally reflect the age and experiences of the main character, YA fiction can encompass the entire range of genres. The settings of these stories are only limited by the author’s imagination and skill.
YA themes often center on the challenges of youth, leading the entire category to sometimes be called problem novels or coming-of-age stories. The writing styles in YA fiction can vary widely, from rich, literary prose to more streamlined, straightforward narratives. Despite these distinctive qualities, YA fiction shares the fundamental elements of storytelling with all other fiction—character, plot, setting, theme, and style.
