#BookEndsChat What advice do you have for foreigner authors? Should they translate the whole manuscript or only elevator pitch and synopsis?@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

If I had to choose 1: would you recommend a university writing workshop or a writing conference with prospective agents? #BookEndsChat@juliakayjett a univ class will though teach you the basics of writing, style, and hopefully voice. #BookEndsChat

@AgentJessicaA Saw #MSWL - On psych trillers do I need violence or just a big creep factor? Thx. #BookEndsChat@suedunn103 @agentjessicaa to me a psych thriller keeps me guessing and is more internal. #BookEndsChat

@inthesestones @parmita_ #BookEndsChat Do you think an eighteen-year-old protagonist is more NA?@jfklekotka @inthesestones @parmita_ I think that would depend on the book/plot/subject. It's sort of straddles the line #BookEndsChat
