I think I read somewhere that Tamora Pierce originally wrote her Lioness Quartet as a single novel (or maybe two) for adult fiction but she couldn't get it published. She got advice to aim for YA because she would have a better chance at a market and would face less sexist shit.
Also I follow Laurie Halse Anderson on here and she said in one of her q&a posts how the YA genre made her a better writer inasmuch as the page limits. Writers for a adult fiction (particularly scifi) can drone on and on and lose their story, or at the very least the urgency (see JK Rowling once she became a power-house, and while Twilight never really had a plot, but the Eclipse meanders around forever). LHA says she very conscious that every character, location, action, bit of dialogue needs to service the story or characterization--no room for exposition on landscapes and such.

Melissa Marr's Wicked Lovely series is marketed as both YA and Adult. Same books. Just different marketing. And internationally, they're considered Adult. She said that when she was at book signing where I am. I found that fascinating. And the fact it was passed around both divisions of different agents/publishing houses, refused for too much/too little.
