I am a reader and closet writer so these never really matter to me. What's important is the story and I'm sure yours is awesome. Cannot wait to read more about it. :)

Thanks for the head's up on this new genre! :) It sounds like it is much-needed. I kind of struggled with this when I graduated high school. It's like I went straight from YA to chick lit. Haha.

I love that there are publishers trying to build lists for this demographic. I read so much in my twenties and it would have been great to have a category that really catered to my interests. Are you going to submit your MS??? EEk, I hope so!

Funny because reading the entire Twilight series, I never gave it one thought that it fell in any category. I just knew I was sucked in.

This is interesting. As a reader, it doesn't matter as long as it's a good story, but as a writer I cna see the challenge.
