I am interested in your advice on this, especially from those of you who have published or managed to secure agents. I've started a dystopian novel about teenagers, and while I really like the characters, plot and world (and finding it easy to write compared to my other novels), am very aware that it may be hard to market and sell when complete for a couple of reasons - it's probably a bit late to jump on the Hunger Games bandwagon, and while the characters are teenagers, it's not really YA as it's quite grim and it doesn't have any 'love interest' story lines. This has left me wondering the value in continuing.
I probably will anyway, but was interested: do you try and second guess the market before you write, or just write?
