I'm wondering your thoughts on the prevalence of fairytale fiction in middle grade - is it saturated right now?
What makes you think it's saturated? Fairytales are popular with that age group, it's natural to have lots of that type of books out. An MG reader won't be able to notice if the market is saturated simply because they will grow up before they have the chance to explore much of it. It's not the same as with the grown-ups who could have decades of reading behind them and would easily recognize a story that's been done to death. Besides, "fairytale fiction" is a really wide variety which is near impossible to exhaust.I'm wondering your thoughts on the prevalence of fairytale fiction in middle grade - is it saturated right now?
