Re: YA or Adult, best market for SF?

Quote:
If your protagonists are young adults, then your novel is YA.
Okay, I'm in this thread because I don't know so much about YA. But I DO know that's incorrect.

Dune, for instance, is not a YA book, is it? Nor is "A Separate Peace", nor "Dead Poet's Society" nor "Pornografia". And so many others. They are mainstream adult books featuring young characters.

It would also fail to follow that teenagers are only interested in reading about people there own age.
