One thing I find most difficult is promoting in face to face. I missed an opportunity tonight. The company I was in was discussing reading. I felt I could not promote my book in the he genre being discussed. This is my biggest problem. I will be happy to promote online, but face to face I find difficult.
Does anyone have any suggestions how to get over this?

Age is always a consideration, but the age is in regards to who will be BUYING the book. The target audience for children and MG books will be teachers, parents, librarians, bookstore owners, etc. Those who choose books for young ones to read.

As for YA, teens who read are very precocious and thus can be lumped in with an adult audience. That and successful YA actually has a largely adult readership.

New Adult hasn’t really gotten much traction, but trends shift. This is where social media can be invaluable.

Is this adult fiction? Young adult fiction? New adult fiction? And why is my 7yr old niece reading it?? Rich vocabulary, late teen/early 20s protagonists, all-age content… Is there a litmus test for this, and if so, what is it?

Do you think age is an important part of targeting your audience, or is what your audience enjoys of greater importance than their age?
