What can new writers, as a community, do to improve the process and minimize the extraneous stuff in querying? (2/2) #BookEndsChat@kklstef I'm really not sure there is a shortcut solution. The query information is essential. #BookEndsChat

@BookEndsKim, u accept historical romance, how about historical, strong MC w/ a touch of romance? #BookEndsChat@saybeller I'm certainly open to it. Generally harder to sell and has to be a very strong voice. So I have to love it. #BookEndsChat

@parmita_ If you're fan of a client, that's a nice add, particularly if you write something similar. Only if sincere, though. #BookEndsChat

If I had to choose 1: would you recommend a university writing workshop or a writing conference with prospective agents? #BookEndsChat@juliakayjett I would definitely target the conferences with pub pros. Usually you can learn about craft & the biz at those. #BookEndsChat

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