#WordWeavers, 17 Have you ever written for other age groups? /2

I am becoming increasingly annoyed by the references and attitudes to age groups in this thread. By the time I was 10 I had read the Butler prose translations of the Iliad and Odyssey and the complete, unabridged Robinson Crusoe. And some Dickens, and unabridged Ivanhoe. And a lot of other things my parents might have been surprised by if they had known what was between the covers.

Trying to Write for age groups is delusional.

@elysegrasso It's mostly a marketing thing. They want to sell books more easily. Parents should pay more attention to their children and buy for them individually, rather than because the market says so.
