Just what is the definition of smut fiction? Or for that matter, New Adult fiction? Bridging the gap between Young Adult and Adult fiction is the new hot ticket and both smut fiction/New Adult fiction is supposedly the new category that young readers can't get enough of these days. Ask a few authors that have been cashing in on this new coined budding genre.
Ah, the coming of age. If you can remember back…remember Judy Blume books? During those times, Judy Blume was the coming of age hit, without the sexual tension that the this new category brings with it. Now we have the new wave of coming of age stories, more erotic, sensual, and sexual to boot.
Some critics want to go as far as saying it’s not real literature?
People read it, right? Sounds like literature to me. To call it smut brings a
negative connotation that some may view as a put down toward the authors that
write in this category.
However, marching to the bank to the tune of at least $200,000 in just a few months, is hardly a put down to me. I’m going to go ahead and reach out on a limb and say that authors such as Colleen Hoover, who wrote Slammed, and others that are cashing in on this wave, and say they probably don’t think so either. Publishing houses are now taking notice of "smut" fiction as some self published authors such as Colleen Hoover has proven that there is indeed a market for these types of stories. A few of these authors have now landed deals with the same publishing houses that once turned them down.
