@UweStenderPhD @Claribel_Ortega Is connecting to voice really subjective or is indicative of a lack of technical skill?For me it is subjective, like which song I like, or which movie, or which TV show, etc.

@UweStenderPhD Do you think most conferences are organized the best way to help writers and illustrators?I don't know, I only attend 3 or 4 a year, so I can't judge "most." But at the ones I have attended, writers for sure. I have not met an illustrator at a conference.

@UweStenderPhD @RedPenKaitlyn What's your favorite and least favorite part of conferences?Meeting the writers face to face. Telling them that I am not interested in their pitched project.

@UweStenderPhD @RedPenKaitlyn Have you ever accepted a story full of typos (but loved the story)?No, because I will have stopped reading after page 1 or 2. Likely 1.

LC Milburn @LCMilburn
@UweStenderPhD I received several editor likes in a recent pitch contest (hooray!). But my full MS is also out w/ agents right now. I haven’t sent to the editors b/c I’ve heard this could be a prob w/ agents if the publisher rejects. What should I do?Well done, but I wouldn't overreact to a like. Once you have an agent offer and signed on with an agent, you can tell them which editors gave it a like, then they can pursue the lead.

@UweStenderPhD When you take a client on submission what is your process? #askagentAfter I make sure the manuscript is as perfect as it can be, I query the editors whom I believe will love the project.

Linsey Knerl @LKnerl
@UweStenderPhD When reading Publisher's Weekly, many of the supernatural thriller titles seem more like horror and vice-versa, but they are marketed distinctly. What elements are unique to each, so that we don't pitch the wrong genre to agents? Thx!I don't know. Since it mixes genres "supernatural" and "thriller", it is a mixed bag from the get go.

K. Hawthorne @kihawthorne
@UweStenderPhD I understand as a mechanism for promotion it could be useful.I'm referring more to having a website just for the sake of having a website.
I don't know. Your call. I would have one if I were a writer. But again, your call.

Beck Erixson @BErixson
@UweStenderPhD @jenichappelle As an academic, do you see an importance in variation of an author's name between academic and non-academic publications?I don't know. I trend toward saying that it does not matter.
