For those of you representing picture book author/illustrators (@TracyMarchini?) what do you like to see in a manuscript? #BookEndsChatThat's what I like to see - au/ill who uses both mediums to their advantage in a way you couldn't do alone. #bookendschat

How do you define literary fiction? #BookEndsChatA focus on an internal plot over external, where the way a story is told is just as important as story itself. #bookendschat

@YogaChickie My definition of "dark" and @AgentJessicaA 's are pretty different, for instance. lol #BookEndsChatAnd "dark" for picture books is much different than "dark" in YA #bookendschat

Jess Ruud @J_Ruud
How important is that first sentence? How long do you give a manuscript a chance before deciding? #BookEndsChatI will read until the mss makes me stop - either uninterested in protag/story, writing isn't strong enough yet, etc. #BookEndsChat

#BookEndsChat Does writing in 1P pov make it difficult to assess the author's actual voice?Not at all. Your voice in first person is still voice. More important is -- is this the right POV for this story? #BookEndsChat
