11 Types of Titles Frequently Used in YA Fiction

Young Adult (YA) fiction is enjoying a big surge in popularity over the past two decades. Today young adult fiction is considered a force to be reckoned with. YA is literature for and about teens, and is there to bridge the gap between children’s and adult’s books. It can be subdivided into the same genres as adult books—romance, paranormal, mystery, horror, literary fiction, fantasy etc. YA books are not just read by young adults but a large percentage of adults (like me) read them too.
