A safe place to discuss topics on New Adult Fiction. Published or not. Online or in print. On any genre you fancy.

I might start, how many genres encompass New Adult? I've fluctuated between Middle Grade, Young Adult, and New Adult. Often I have weird combinations like "A twenty year old mentally regressed to a thirteen year old." Often my stories explore themes of reliving ones teen years, as if one had a hard time coping with the adult world.

I'm a fan of Cyberpunk, but have been drifting into Spypunk, which is essentially Cyberpunk but focusing on rogue espionage rings, and the street finding its own use for spy technology in the tech underground. Often the MCs are lone wolves, who have been either disgraced by their old agency, or never had the ambition to join a government agency.

I'm thinking of limiting the focus of my future fiction to Spypunk. Despite how it sounds, it's less rogue espionage agents, or more about how spy tech has become ubiquitous among hackers, making the NSA and other agencies jobs harder. It can be thought of as a subset of Cyberpunk.

This is such a cool topic. Do you know how hard it is to find information about NA genre. Thank you.

Hi! I don't know if anyone is still active in this group. But I'm totally new to writing New-Adult novels. I have a few in the pipeline but as a mainly YA writer, I'm nervous about sharing some new ideas. Any advice? :)
