@laurenspieller How open are you to another fairytale retelling? Do you think the market is to flooded for these?I’m open to it as long as it’s doing something new with the genre/is retelling a lesser-known fairytale

@laurenspieller What's the most important part about a romcom for you? Like what really defines the best parts of the genre?Ooo this is a good question. My answer isn’t great but it IS crucial: the story has to actually be FUNNY

@laurenspieller what's a trend that you would really like to see resurface in YA?Romcoms!!!
Okay, maybe that’s not fair—it’s not like there was a strong trend and then it disappeared, a la dystopian. But I still wants it, precious.

@laurenspieller Should a writer try to be exacting and provide all details about a work, body of, when submitting. Or give away the identity of the murderer to fully explain. What role of letting agent know what we are going for.Don’t give away the ending. Focus on the set up & central conflict and make sure we know what is at stake for the character. #askagent

@laurenspieller when you're reading a requested MS, at what point do you usually know you're going to offer?I start getting a feeling by 25-30% usually, and by 50-60% I'm pretty sure. But I have to finish to know! #askagent

@laurenspieller How do you feel about writers that have self-published in the past? (assuming the writing isn't horrible) #askagentIt depends on the sales record, genre, etc., but it's not a deal breaker. Just can make things harder. #askagent

@laurenspieller How do you balance market trends vs. finding a story you know just needs to be read? #askagentGreat question. Ultimately I have to sell books to make a living BUT if I love something that's off-market, I may take a chance #askagent
