On YA Lit, a response to Publishing Perspective
“When Do YA Novels Go Too Far, If Ever?” http://publishingperspectives.com/2012/07/when-do-ya-novels-go-too-far-if-ever/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Feed:+PublishingPerspectives+(Publishing+Perspectives)&utm_content=FaceBook I feel, true, stories like “50 Shades of Grey” would be tough to stomach, especially in YA literature. Yet, I do NOT agree that a ratiings system should be enforced for YA. It won’t be correct at all. Then we may as well begin to impose a ratings system on trade literature meant for adults too. YA literature is the only space (IMO) that allows the exploration of ideas and is quite realistic. No wonder it is a success. #50shades #YAlit #ratings
