#AskDLG The thing that most draws you in in a query? How to get you to the pages?@EliseNicole88 Hi Elise! For me, it's often the tone. The pages evoke some feeling- and makes me curious where the story is heading. #AskDLG

#AskDLG Is 1st Person POV preferred over 3rd person limited or does it depend on the story?@Author_JuliaAsh just depends. I've heard some editors say they love 3rd person, but every story is different, right? I like both. #AskDLG

#AskDLG What do you see as the most vibrant genres in YA right now?@kehopkins13 One genre that seems popular now is light fantasy- based in the real world with some fantastical elements. #AskDLG

#AskDLG Any advice on pitching a crossover vs a single genre project? Should pitches be limited to agents who request crossovers?@Author_JuliaAsh I think if it mixes a genre an agent is already interested in, go for it! #AskDLG

The Grinch Who LOVES Christmas @KMTaylorWrites
#AskDLG how do you all feel about unlikable, complex heroines (at least at first) in cont. romance? Hard sells?@KMTaylorWrites unlikeable seems to be a bit of a trend, but not for me. But what isn't right for me is perfect for another. #AskDLG
