Re: YA or Adult, best market for SF?

Its also over 112K words which may be a bit long for some younger readers? (although I read Dune and LOTR for the first time at around the age of nine...)
Yeah, but I guess maybe you can make it a series if it's too long for YA. I don't consider LOTR and Dune to be YA novels. I don't think you can compare the YA who reads adult novels (like Dune/Lotr) to be your standard audience if you write for YA.
