@Saharishta It may just be a question of taste, but it might be helpful to work with a critique partner #BookEndsChat

@oliveijn you're going to have to translate it all. if a request comes in from a US agent they'll want the book in English #BookEndsChat

@juliakayjett I would definitely target the conferences with pub pros. Usually you can learn about craft & the biz at those. #BookEndsChat

@juliakayjett a univ class will though teach you the basics of writing, style, and hopefully voice. #BookEndsChat

@juliakayjett a Univ. writing workshop won't usually teach you how the biz works, and might often give wrong biz advice #BookEndsChat

@DogRoomProds Not necessarily. It all comes down to voice and accessibility for youngsters! #BookEndsChat

@juliakayjett personally, I think a good conference will teach you more about publishing, the biz, & provide networking #BookEndsChat

@juliakayjett it would depend on what stage you're in with your writing and career. #BookEndsChat

@JFKlekotka Trends come and go, but I know I'd certainly like to see some YA thrillers, myself. #BookEndsChat

@suedunn103 @agentjessicaa to me a psych thriller keeps me guessing and is more internal. #BookEndsChat

@suedunn103 @agentjessicaa a thriller needs to be creepy. Violence isn't necessary actually. #BookEndsChat

. @suedunn103 No, you don’t need violence. A big creep factor will do. I’m always open to non-gory thrillers! #BookEndsChat

@JFKlekotka @parmita_ Not necessarily. It really depends more on the book itself. The plot arcs and tropes, etc. #BookEndsChat

@jfklekotka @inthesestones @parmita_ I think that would depend on the book/plot/subject. It's sort of straddles the line #BookEndsChat

@parmita_ none of those make an author. just put a little about you. where you live. unrelated degrees, etc. #BookEndsChat

@parmita_ Yes, I think 18 is stretching it a bit. Could make it a tougher sell. #BookEndsChat

@parmita_ It's definitely in the upper end of YA. It's doable, but can be a bit tougher depending on genre involved! #BookEndsChat
