SF is a genre where kids are supposed to transition directly to adult books after exhausting all the simple titles with big pictures and short sentences.<br />I've looked at it from both angles, and I haven't worked out whether it's the chicken (publishers) or the egg (authors) at fault. I get the feeling hardly anyone is writing the stuff - maybe because SF isn't their genre in the first place, or maybe if they can write SF they figure they're better off writing for adults, where there's at least some semblance of a market for their work?Simon Hayneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02660767551431793439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10678422.post-5636878396803773502011-10-05T20:32:15.024+08:002011-10-05T20:32:15.024+08:00Agreed!

I would imagine there's a lot to talk about when it comes to sci-fi, too, especially in the YA and MG markets. <br /><br />In my "other" persona, I write YA fantasy (not the vampire kind). As a fan of sci-fi, I've been surprised it hasn't taken off more in that market. I'm hoping the recent interest in Dystopian will be a bridge from fantasy to more sci-fi. <br /><br />JuliaJuliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03900632195066089210noreply@blogger.com
