ABOUT THE ONDEMAND WEBINAR

New Adult (books with protagonists ages 18-25) has swiftly become the hottest thing in both self-publishing and traditional publishing. New authors are making astonishing strides in this category and making great deals with the big traditional houses. Recent success stories include Molly McAdams, whose book Taking Chances has sold more than 200,000 copies so far. And then there's Jamie McGuire's Beautiful Disaster, which caught the attention of Warner Brothers and has been optioned for film. Other bestselling New Adult novelists include Coleen Hoover, Cora Carmack, and Tamara Webber. And then there's a little author by the name of E.L. James.

Agent Gordon Warnock of Foreword Literary helps you understand New Adult fully from all aspects of the business, whether you need to know the rules of the category, how to pitch it to agents, or how authors are hitting the bestselling lists with modern marketing techniques.

The rise of New Adult has introduced questions, such as: Is it a genre? Does it need to have sex scenes? How do you define it? Should you self-publish it? How do you know if an agent wants NA? How is it different from YA? Despite all the questions, New Adult manuscripts have been selling remarkably well, no matter how it is published. The readers want it, it is here to stay, and we are among many agencies actively looking for it.

• What makes a story New Adult

• What's hot and what's next
• Characters, settings, and themes that work well for NA
• How to tell if an agent wants New Adult
• How to brand yourself for long-term success
