Getting older is part of the human experience. And as we age, it’s natural for our interests to evolve. But there’s a trend amongst older readers to shy away from certain books because they’re older than the ‘target audience.”
If a book seems interesting why should it's "target audience" keep a reader of any age from picking it up?
More critically, if a book helps someone understand themselves, survive something difficult, or feel less alone…why should it’s “target audience” stop it counting as ‘real literature’?
This week on the HBC POD we’re talking about Young Adult fiction and the ways older readers sell the genre short. Whether you’re young or young at heart it’s a lively conversation worth a listen!
