Via Oz and Ends:
Scalzi discusses the state of YA fantasy and SF sales compared to adult. (Scalzi's got some good stuff this week!) Of particular note is that old refrain, often heard from authors and readers of adult SFF, that YA is an "undiscovered country"--when, as Scalzi points out, it's kinda that the adult SFF people just aren't in on the highly popular open secret that's selling far and above what any adult SFF bestseller is . . . .

i first wrote my novel, i thought
i was just writing asian fantasy.
then i began querying and agents asked
if it was YA. lo and behold, it is!
now i'm trying to adjust to the new
label, but i'm excited about the prospect
of it. not because it's currently
trendy, but like discovering something
of yourself you didn't realize.
i write what i write, and it just happend
to be YA.
thanks for the link!
