In contemporaries I love "reunited lovers" stories. (The next @WriterTJKline has an amazing one that gave me so many feelings!) #AskAvonBks

OMG exactly!!! So many of my early days romances had secret babies/accidental pregnancies in them. Guess it just stuck with me! #askavonbks

I'm a little burned out on billionaires but give me a naughty sports star ANY DAY! #askavonbks

I LOVE secret babies too!! #AskAvonBks

Does anyone know a good contemporary with this trope? Like that terrible 80s soccer movie? #AskAvonBks

I get a lot of grief for this one, but I love secret babies!!! I don't know why... Living vicariously through fiction, I guess. #AskAvonBks

I'm also a sucker for a good "Heroine has to dress up like a boy" story. Something about the disguise works for me. #AskAvonBks

My governess fascination doesn't work in contemporaries. I have no problems with teacher heroines but not an "instaread" for me. #AskAvonBks

My favorite trope is one word! Governess. If you've got a governess as your heroine, chances are I will read it. #AskAvonBks

Hey #authors: #AskAvonbks is back soon! Join us Fri 3/31 @ 12:30pm EDT to talk "Romance Catnip" aka our favorite tropes & why we love them!

.@Everywoman98 We try to do them every couple months! Follow our editors to keep track & we'll tweet when we schedule the next! #askavonbks

.@Everywoman98 Critique groups and/or beta readers are helpful! But hiring an editor before submitting to us isn't necessary! #AskAvonBks

Remember: don't be nervous when you're #pitching! I'm just a book lover like you and I'm excited to hear about your story! #AskAvonBks

.@Seege1977 I'm intrigued. Is it a romance or women's fiction? (Meaning more about romantic relationships?) #AskAvonBks

.@KimBailey1019 I would definitely go for longer! Generally pitches are at least 5 minutes and I'm going to ask follow ups #AskAvonBks

This is a great question. I think get the perfect pitch but tailor your questions to the editor/agent/house you're pitching. #AskAvonBks

.@Laforesta1 A rock solid pitch is always the goal! But specific tropes/things grab ME every time, so knowing that is a plus! #askavonbks

.@Laforesta1 No! I promise! #AskAvonBks

Inappropriate places to pitch: The Bathroom, My personal facebook, linkedIn, or email accounts, a funeral #AskAvonBks
