The SCBWI (society of children’s book writers & illustrators) confuses some authors of young adult books. Our organization includes everything from picture books to young adult. SCBWI is a world-wide organization. I am in the Midsouth region. (Kentucky & Tennessee) You can go to the SCBWI’s website from the Links on this website. Although I am a PAL (published and listed) author, unpublished authors may join. Here is a list of the main children’s writing categories:
Picture book: board books, traditional picture books, easy readers
Middle-grade: chapter books, middle readers, tween
YA: young adult & new adult (newer category-teens just out of high school)
