About YA titles

For those of you who are currently working on a YA title- that market is big right now. Supernatural rules- vampires, werevolves, zombies, and any combination of the three. My book is a historical fiction with supernatural elements in it, and that makes it a good candidate for the YA (young adult) market. I was also told at the conference that most of the YA readers are young girls- believe it or not, boys will read middle grade literature and then skip YA titles and jump straight on to adult titles, while girls read throughout. So, young girls are the main target audience for YA, so a female protagonist helps. Some good things to keep in mind when submitting!
