Take a look at the sample graphic below, then click here to read more on the topic. Amazing work, Kate!
*those who keep wondering "where" the contemporary YA novels are, well, take a look.
Very interesting. The paranormal genre is still stronger than the dystopian genre? I expect that to change in the next couple of years.
ReplyDeleteInteresting...
ReplyDeleteI love looking at statistics and pie charts. This is great!
Oooh thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting.
ReplyDeleteNow I know why I can't find many YA thrillers and suspenses to read. :(
ReplyDeleteCool about contemporary, though, since that's what I write.
So interesting. Thanks for sharing the link. I had no idea contemporary was so popular.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is pretty interesting!
ReplyDeleteNice to see contemporary make such a strong showing. Fun graph. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see contemporary selling, seeing as that's what I write. Although it always seems to be the dystopians and paranormals that get the mega-deals.
ReplyDeletethanks for this!
