Jennifer L. Armentrout's Wait For You New Adult novel was a #1 NYT Bestseller just a few weeks ago. St. Martin's Press coined the term "New Adult" in a special call they held for stories that dealt with characters in the 18-24 yr old age group.

New Adult is also the first new genre to develop after the advent of digital publishing. Because of that self publishers have been the leaders of the genre's success, and are still very tied in to its continuing development although some publishers (specifically Random House and Entangled) have

New Adult is a developing genre in fiction, that has been discussed in the New York Times, USA Today, on NBC, and most recently at Amazon, where it has been added as a searchable category for books. There are numerous NYT and USAT bestselling books that are classified as New Adult, and in fact,

I think perhaps it would be more appropriate for someone who is a publisher, agent or fiction author (which I am) to oversee this entry in Knowledge, as the individuals who tagged this for removal obviously are not well-versed in the publishing industry nor fiction genres.

Also, I've removed the section about blogs and such that focus on NA. We don't include sections on blogs or reading groups unless those groups have become so overwhelmingly notable that they've been covered in mainstream or reliable sources.
