@rahrahread We don't rep Picture Books, but here's a post from @literaticat that will help. literaticat.blogspot.com/2011/05/wordco… #AskKTLit

Noting that this makes it adult, though, not YA. #AskKTLit

Forbidden love isn't a deal-breaker - read THE SIREN by @tiffanyreisz as an example. NA is a sub-genre of romance so bring it on! #AskKTLit

Also, this is a great read: nytimes.com/2016/09/25/opi… #AskKTLit

You do it by creating fully-realized, well-rounded characters, and telling me enough about them to entice me to read more. #AskKTLit

If an agent asks specifically for an revision, you can always send it, otherwise, try them with your next, new project. #AskKTLit

I want more thrillers and unreliable narrators! I think YA is maturing and can handle some dark characters! #AskKTLit

If it's relevant to the publishing world, include it. If not, I like to find out during "the call". #AskKTLit

I would try to avoid it if possible, at least in the query. Like a prologue, it can detract from an agent getting to know the MC. #AskKTLit

Question on trends from @KAdamsBooks = I see more fantasy YA now than ever (woo HOOO!) and not enough romance. #AskKTLit

@KirtidaGautam Here's a really great resource! #AskKTLit literaticat.blogspot.com/2011/05/wordco…

Genre = where would your book be shelved in bookstore? Shelved in SF/F then = speculative fiction. Shelved in romance = romance. #AskKTLit

But, my typical answer is: 90k-100k is usually great for YA Fantasy. #AskKTLit

.@literaticat has a SUPER helpful post about word count for Kid Lit. I still reffer to it. literaticat.blogspot.com/2011/05/wordco… #AskKTLit

Question #1= "How/if to include a story’s inspiration in a query." Personally = I don't need it at all. Just focus on the pitch. #AskKTLit

We're starting with some questions already posted on the blog: ktliterary.com/2016/09/askktl… #AskKTLit
