Is this the only idea she has?

[queenursula]

Given that she's written non-Hunger Games books, no.

As I commented above, I think the YA industry is dealing with some declining sales and multiple YA authors are being signed to new deals within their most popular universes. A lot of adults who once bought YA are now migrating to BookTok adult stuff - adult books with sex written at a YA level. Even some YA publishers are signing adult books (mostly YA authors transitioning into adult romantasy god I fucking hate that word).

Curious, do you mean the adult books have sex and are written at a ya level, or they’re adult books and the sex specifically is written at a ya level?

[squirrels_oh_no]

They're written at a YA level but aimed at adults (have sex, older characters, adult situations, etc.)

Got it, thanks! I’d hate that. I don’t love books with sex scenes anyway because they’re often cringe or it feels like they take up too much of the book and then having them written in ya style would make it worse for me.
