"elevator pitch" = describe your book in 2 sentences. I hate these - they don't tell me enough! But they're very important. #AskAvonBks

Shorthand for common pacing issues? #AskAvonBksGood question, @excogitates! I'll just say "faster here!" "need to pick up the pace" or "develop more here" to slow things down. #AskAvonBks

Editor
"Blurb request" = Asking other authors for quotes for the front cover. #AskAvonBks

Editor
At a pitch: "But who is the heroine?" - Tell me about the internal conflict. I need to know more about HER story. #AskAvonBks

Things that are not helpful to the revision process: YouTube videos of kittens, Googling cover model "inspiration," not writing #AskAvonBks

How does #AskAvonBks handle multi-genre books like this? (PS @peggylcarpenter keep me posted - sounds awesome!) twitter.com/PeggyLCarpente…Individually! It depends completely on the story. @JenTheEditor @PeggyLCarpenter #NaNoWriMo #AskAvonBks

Editor
Most importantly: 4) Is the ending satisfying? #AskAvonBks #NaNoWriMo

Editor
2) Is every scene moving the story forward? 3) What tropes are you exploring? Have you been successful?#AskAvonBks #NaNoWriMo

Editor
Things to think about while revising: 1) What are the themes that carry through the book? #AskAvonBks #NaNoWriMo

Editor
@JenTheEditor Good question. It really depends on the person. I'd give yourself at least a weekend... #AskAvonBks #NaNoWriMo

Editor
3b) Did I mention reread? Writing a book in a month is a whirlwind, you'll definitely need at least a proofread #AskAvonBks #NaNoWriMo

Editor
3) Once it's settled down a bit in your mind, go back and REREAD, REVISE, and (re)EDIT! #AskAvonBks

Editor
2) Now is the time to write up a synopsis, while it's all still fresh in your mind. #AskAvonBks

Editor
1st thing to do once you've finished your NaNoWriMo ms? Take a breath and pat yourself on the back! You've just written a book! #AskAvonBks

Editor
@Giora888 Depends completely on the book! #askAvonBks

#askAvonBks When does a historical romance heroine cross the line from strong and relatable to modern readers to too anachronistic?A good q but hard to answer. It really depends so much on the voice and storyline. I'm like anachronism #askAvonBks twitter.com/FayeDelacour/s…

What kinds of heroines do we need to see more of? #askAvonBks
