    Young-adult authors write books for young adults. The author’s age is irrelevant (actually, the older they are, the creeper writing books for pre-teens becomes).

    They are seeking to increase their wealth without providing additional productivity, or anything of value. That’s rent seeking. Not a new concept, happening constantly around us, and nobody seems to want to call it what it is.
