Re: Sci-fi for the teenage market

All you can do is try various agents, and they will make their minds up how they see it. Crossover does happen, but there is still demarcation with a fair amount of the adult and children's fantasy market. Some books first published as adult fantasy are now bleeding into YA - Terry Brooks and Robert Jordan have YA editions from their UK publisher Orbit/Atom, for instance. I think you'd definitely call George R R Martin and China Mieville mostly adult, though, so there will always be those differences, and it will depend upon each individual book
