Branding ?: If an author has story ideas ranging from MG to Adult, will their debuting category box them into an age group? #BookEndsChatIt will, yes. It doesn't mean you can't branch out elsewhere, but you'd be looking at a pseudonym. #BookEndsChat

@TracyMarchini thanks so much! And might be too specific, but what is your current query response time?#bookendschatWelp, I have 450 outstanding queries at the moment, and I'll be out of the office for a bit, so I'd say Nov. #bookendschat

Branding ?: If an author has story ideas ranging from MG to Adult, will their debuting category box them into an age group? #BookEndsChatit should. writing is different from a writing career. It doesn't mean you can't eventually branch out #BookEndsChat

Has a comp title in a query ever pushed you over the edge to a request? #BookEndsChatIt hasn’t pushed me over the edge, but some will catch my attention for sure. #bookendschat

If you get a query for YA that you feel is MG (or vice versa) is it an automatic no? Or would you work with it? #BookEndsChatI was just honest about where I thought it should be #BookEndsChat -- of course usually the author disagreed. lol

@AgentJessicaA Do you share queries? Or is a no from one, a no from the agency? My apologies if you've answered this already.We sometimes share, but if you get a no from one of us, you can query another agent. #bookendschat
