Just like writers. We’re the same, too! Okay. We just might be vastly different. But it feels like we're the same. The bones of a writer are the same. But even though we’re all the same, it’s still fun to see where we are different. Like the differences in what genre we write and what age group we write for.
So let’s hear it!
Are we writing vastly different things from one another, or a lot the same? I think it’d be interesting to know. Leave what genre and age group you write in the comments, and as often as I can, I will update the graphics to reflect the comments.
Me? I write middle grade adventure. Sometimes it's tinged with fantasy. Sometimes a little science fiction. Sometimes a little mystery. But ALWAYS a lot of adventure.
Can’t wait to find out what everyone else writes!

Two genres for me ... Adult Contemporary, and Adult Nonfiction (memoir).
YA fantasy sprinkled with a little paranormal :)
It'll be very intereasting to see the results unfold.
So far for me, it's been Adventures for Middle Readers. But the last one is a YA Adventure.
The ones I have mapped out and are queued up to write, are Sci-fi, Mystery, Crime, and more Adventure. As I haven't written these, do they count?
Cool graphics! I write mostly YA. My first book is a YA urban fantasy and my second is a dystopian. I am about half-way into a paranormal romance as well. I'm actually still on the fence about whether my dystopian novel is YA or Adult just due to the age and themes. Most of it takes place when my MC is in her early twenties, but a lot is flashback to teen years. Sometimes it's hard to write on the cusp of an age group.
YA all the way! Right now I'm working on a dystopian, but I'd like to say I write in most of the sub-categories.
YA & Adult
Paranormal, fantasy, dystopian, suspense, general & speculative fiction

:D
I love your pictures. I'm such a picture person :)
Well. Mostly YA. I have a completed YA Dystopian and YA Contemporary.
I also have a completed Mystery/Thriller.
In my brain are two more YA Contemporary and YA Sci-fi. I guess I can't write fast enough...
If you ever need another critique partner Peggy, let me know. I've critique three Middle Grade, two of which were adventure.
How come you know how to do cool graphics like this???
Me- YA Contemporary and Paranormal Romance.
Adult mystery/suspense. I've also written some adult sci fi and will do more of that someday.
YA paranormal romance and YA contemporary.
I write picture books and YA Fantasy :)
And I love how you do these awesome fun graphics. They are so cute.
I write adult thrillers - often supernatural, murder-mystery type thrillers. They are the type of book I most like to read myself but I do branch out and try other genres occasionally.
I write MG & YA - mostly fantasy but a little sci fi as well.
I'm writing two different things right now - a YA high fantasy and a YA Paranormal :)
I want to write motivational, educational and self improvement. I love to read young adult fiction and fantasy / historical fiction.
I think I write too many genres.
MG, YA, and Adult Fantasy and Sci-Fi, with elements of Sword and Sorcery, fairytale, horror, paranormal, Romance, and Thriller.'
That's a mouthful, huh? :)
Hmm, better count me for both adult and YA (paranormal) romance. Great idea! :)
I love these interactive/poll posts that you put together so well!
I write YA fantasy, dystopian, and adventure.
Okay, guys. I've updated the writing age groups, but I have to run to parent teacher conferences. I'll update the rest as soon as I get back. Keep 'em coming!
what are those things? popcorn? flowers?
whatever they are, it's so cute!
My first 2 are adult (sci fi/thriller and chick lit)
my next 2 are MG fantasy & YA rural fantasy (its set in the sticks, ha ha)
This is really interesting. I'd say that I write contemporary middle grade and YA, some with elements of fantasy and usually a little mystery.
I write adult historical romance.
I'll be interested to see the results. I write for adults, speculative fiction [encompasses fantasy and sci-fi].
Okay! I've finally recorded everyone's age groups and genres. It's been so fun reading everyone's answers! I love it. Definitely keep them coming. Tara-- I'm going with flavored popcorn. Or just brightly colored cotton balls.
I love your charts. :)
I write adult romance and YA contemporary.
YA urban fantasy is my thing. I love mixing the real world with the magic of fantasy. The possibilities are endless :D
What darling graphics!!
Contemporary YA
Kaylee, Hannah, and Bethany, I've added yours. :)
I write young adult fantasy/dystopian but am starting a steampunk novel soon :) This is an awesome idea by the way!
I write YA Urban Fantasy, Adult Comptemporary. (I hope, I have an idea for one right now)
Love the graph. So much fun!
Young adult Science Fiction. I've completely bored myself with every contemp idea I've come up with, and that's the only other genre I think I could write.
Graphs all updated. I love seeing the results!
Here are mine:
Fantasy
Adventure
Middle Grade
