YA Fiction Genre – What’s the best definition for the YA fiction book genre? The YA (young adult) fiction genre consists of themes, styles, and plot elements that appeal to a younger reading audience. The main character’s age often sets the age of the targeted audience (12-18 (sometimes considered teen fiction) or 16-25 years of age). The subject matter and story lines in the YA fiction genre follow the interest and thoughts of the main character, mirroring the feelings/emotions and circumstances facing their life. YA stories are relevant to the target readers. Most stories include coming of age themes or dealing with high school or college issues, or even trying to make their own way despite their parents.

YA fiction is written in a spectrum of genres.

Books in the young adult fiction genre are often 40-80,000 words in length.
