New-adult fiction
New Adult (NA) fiction is a developing genre of fiction with protagonists in the 18–30 age bracket.〔Beckett, Sandra L. (2008). Crossover Fiction: Global and Historical Perspectives. pp. 111, 119–126.〕 St. Martin's Press first coined the term in 2009, when they held a special call for "...fiction similar to YA that can be published and marketed as adult—a sort of an 'older YA' or 'new adult'."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://sjaejones.com/blog/2009/st-martins-new-adult-contest )〕 New Adult fiction tends to focus on issues such as leaving home, developing sexuality, and negotiating education and career choices. The genre has gained popularity rapidly over the last few years, particularly through books by self-published bestselling authors like Jennifer L. Armentrout, Cora Carmack, Colleen Hoover, and Jamie McGuire.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.fearnet.com/news/interview/karl-alexander-interview-part-3 )〕
The genre was originally met with some criticism, as some viewed it as a marketing scheme,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://jezebel.com/5960942/new-adult-fiction-is-now-an-official-literary-genre-because-marketers-want-you-to-buy-things )〕 while others claimed the readership was not there to publish the material.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/industry-news/publishing-and-marketing/article/55164-new-adult-needless-marketing-speak-or-valued-subgenre.html )〕 In contrast, others claimed that the term was necessary; a publicist for HarperCollins described it as "a convenient label because it allows parents and bookstores and interested readers to know what is inside".
Examples of books in the new-adult genre include Jennifer L. Armentrout's ''Wait For You'', Jamie McGuire's ''Beautiful Disaster'',〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.lansingstatejournal.com/article/20130420/THINGSTODO07/304200030/-New-Adult-books-growing-up )〕 Colleen Hoover's ''Slammed'',〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/emerging-adult-book-genre-puts-smut-fiction-bestseller/story?id=18550587#.UZhSmKLFVqw )〕 and Cora Carmack’s ''Losing It''.
==Marketing==
This category is intended to be marketed to post-adolescents and young-adults ages 18 to 30. This age group is considered to be the lucrative "cross-over" category of young-adult titles that appeal to both the young-adult market and to an adult audience. Publishers of young-adult fiction now favor this category as it encompasses a far broader audience. The chief features that distinguish the new-adult fiction category from young-adult fiction are the perspective of the young protagonist and the scope of the protagonist's life experience. Perspective is gained as childhood innocence fades and life experience is gained, which brings insight. It is this insight which is lacking in traditional young-adult fiction. The other main differences are characters' ages and the settings. YA does not usually include characters over age 18 or in college, but these characters are featured in New Adult books. New Adult can best be described as the age category after Young Adult.
