What is young adult fiction?

Abstract

Belbin describes how he came to write novels for teenagers as a result of his reading when training to be an English teacher. He discusses the nature and function of Young Adult Fiction. He gives an account of his publications that demonstrates the variety of creative work that has allowed him to have a prolonged career, including YA novels for ‘reluctant’ readers and his first published ‘adult’ novel. He briefly summarises a conference about the state of YA Fiction, ‘Turning Point’, that he organised, and comes to a partial definition of the term ‘Young Adult Fiction’.
