Re: Target Readership?

The general answer you've been getting is to just tell your story. While that's good advice, I can think of some exceptions. YA seems to be one, since the word counts are somewhat lower for the novel, and you have to deal with the sticky subjects a little more deftly.

Are you intending to write Fantasy or Science Fiction? If so, you've been lurking in a good place.

were you looking for a more specific answer? If so, you might want to rephrase the question a bit.
