Making sure the chars are fully developed and that there isn't so much external conflict to distract from romance @FayeDelacour #AskAvonBks

.@FayeDelacour I often ask authors to flesh out character motivations. Why they make a choice, acted a certain way, etc. #askavonbks

Individually! It depends completely on the story. @JenTheEditor @PeggyLCarpenter #NaNoWriMo #AskAvonBks

We <3 series! If you have a plan to turn your #WIP into a series, let us know in your pitch letter! #AskAvonBks #NaNoWriMo #querytip

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

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

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

THIS! No need to pay someone to edit your book before submitting it to us. :) #askavonbks #NaNoWriMo twitter.com/CKEmmelhainz/s…

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

Don't feel bad if you can't finish the entire book in 1 month. If you put any words on the page, you made progress! #NaNoWriMo #askavonbks

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

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

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

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

@Giora888 Depends completely on the book! #askAvonBks

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

I wish I could triple favorite this! #askAvonBks twitter.com/ElleKeck/statu…

@Caelestia_Flora That is true. It would have to be so specific to the story so that they didn't seem too immature... #askAvonBks

I also like a heroine who has strong female friendships. (Or sisters) Those relationships help to make her relatable! #askAvonBks
