New Adult has appeal to older YA readers and to adult readers.ĭespite the growth in the market, it can still be hard to find publishers who are accepting unsolicited NA manuscripts. Basically any texts where the central protagonist is between the ages on 18 – 25, having left school and is finding their place in the adult world are considered New Adult. Initially predominantly romance, NA texts are expanding in genres. Little by little, authors have convinced the literary world that the NA category has a place and a lot to offer. Initially, NA was considered “older YA with sex” with publishers and agents generally steering clear. New Adult as a genre tip toed onto the literary scene about six years ago and has slowly gained momentum.
