@SarahGowayed @literaticat I volunteer at an elementary school library and the majority of the 5th graders only want graphic novels now. Or yes, something close to that, with that comicbook look- Diary of a Wimpy Kid
NONE OF THAT MEANS THAT MG IS “DEAD.” Publishers will continue to publish new MG books. Agents will continue to sell new MG books. Kids are still reading MG books. Are sales soft right now? Yes. Does that mean NONEXISTENT? Absolutely not. Also:
I’m leery about wading into the MG discourse on here, but hey: It’s true that MG sales are down right now. This is, IMO, due to a variety of factors: 1) normal market fluctuations, these things are cyclical, no worries. 2) B+N not taking hardcover frontlist hurts discoverability;
@literaticat At the risk of being attacked, I’m finding that many kids don’t want “heavy” books. Additionally, I’m seeing that the font size is an issue for some. They’re going for the larger fonts. We need MORE engaging books that bridge picture/chapter and more high interest low level mg.
@StephDRondeau I kind of get it. I was ready Sweet Valley Twins in early elementary then YA. By junior high, I was reading YA abs had started reading adult books.
@StephDRondeau Being that I exclusively write MG, it is troubling to say the least. I asked Ann if I should age up my manuscript by dropping some F-bombs, but she said to stay true to the story. But, as soon as she gives the word, I'm willing to turn The Hardy Boys info Glengarry Glen Ross. Lol
@StephDRondeau In my library, I noticed that the 3-5, students go for picture books or graphic novels. When someone mentions they read a good MG, then they ask for it. Who I have asking for a lot of MG are middle school kids down the street without a librarian.
@StephDRondeau Not sure if it's dying b/c there's some wonderful new releases. That said, IMO the downtrend could partly be due to adults who also read YA (shows market for NA). I think there is a real need for more upperMG/lowerYA. Without that gap being filled, MG readers are jumping to ⬆️YA.
