 Re: YA or Adult, best market for SF?
Hi all and apologies for my coming late to this but I only signed up today...
The whole adult vs YA issue is intersting to me as I have just completed a novel and I am looking at how best to pitch it. It is fantasy (rather than SF) and I hope it will have wide appeal but the main protagonists are adolescent.
It appears to me, just from the media and browsing bookshops, that YA fantasy is very strong in the UK at the moment with lots of interesting authors and titles whereas on the adult shelves it seems to be more a case of the "usual suspects" (not taking aything away from some great writers) and the more "formulaic" high fantasy stuff...
This being the case, I was thinking that I may stand a better chance of publication in YA? I have no idea about the US market...
Very interested to hear any views... |
