Related QuestionsWhy did you publish Stewards of the Flame yourself?
FAQ About Sylvia Engdahl and Her Science Fiction NovelsBecause publishers of adult fiction demand that it be strictly categorized by genre, and Stewards of the Flame doesn't fit genre requirements.

Related QuestionsWhy isn't Stewards of the Flame suitable for YA readers?
FAQ About Sylvia Engdahl and Her Science Fiction NovelsIt's unlikely that the story would interest teens, as there are no young people in it--the hero and all the main characters are in their 40s or older. And they are concerned, among other things, with adult problems such as death in old age. There are two other reasons why I emphasize that the book isn't appropriate for YA readers. First, it contains some sex and profanity, mild by the standards of adult fiction but more than readers expect from me on the basis of my YA novels.
