Madeline L'Engle was no younster when she wrote A Wrinkle in Time, nor was C.S. Lewis when he wrote The Chronicles of Narnia - and look how far their work has gone. <br /><br />This market has a huge scope, and definitely not age limited. My librarian sister is forever turning me on to great YAs that are just as much fun for adults as kids. The YA has a large secondary market in literacy building. <br /><br />Remember: we don't get older, we get wiser - which is easy for me to say because I'm older than you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7201715210905527969.post-66625235012367715562011-04-10T17:14:04.519-06:002011-04-10T17:14:04.519-06:00Suzanne Collins (The Hunger Games) is 47.

I've gone through my old journal. If I wrote YA books then, trust me no one would want to read them :-) good books come with a great mind and I guess you can find that at any age. But personally I believe it can take a while for that mind to learn and grow before they are published.KaceyMark@wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
