Cobaya asked:
I want to write a young adult science fiction novel, and I have an idea about time travel. It’s somewhat different than how time travel is usually depicted in fiction. In fact, it’s almost satiric of the idea. But I’m wondering if time travel is too cliche now to market? Will an editor take one look at the story, say, “not another one about time travel …” and toss it in the rejected bin? Should I just come up with another idea, or is a time travel-themed book still marketable?
