Re: Authors that follow really similar trends?

I don't know what Australian bookstores you've been going to anon, but as an Australian I'm sure I've seen a YA category in bookstores - possibly under the joint heading 'children's and young adult' fiction, but still. And though I don't read a lot of it and I think a lot of what is published as YA fiction seems to be not particularly original or well written, I don't think there's much wrong with the title of the category.

YA books are basically aimed at a teenage audience - emerging adults - and as such can have more adult themes than purpose-written children's books. However, I think the most significant marking of the genre is that a lot of YA seems to be coming of age stories, if not classic bildungsromans (yes, often with romance as a big part of that - I never said they were good stories). In other words, YA fictions covers narratives that 'young adults' can appreciate much more keenly than children or 'proper grown ups' can because of where they are in life.
