Also, a lot of YA contemp deals with serious issues. Is there a market for fun, quirky YA? Like the girl version of American Pie? #askTBAYes, I'm certainly looking for more fun YA and believe there is a market for this #askTBA

What is best time of year to query. #askTBAdon't think there is one! We look at queries at our own pace. Just make sure you don't query when we're closed to subs. #askTBA

#askTBA My alt. history has shades of dystopia, but I still call it flatly "sci-fi" to avoid the connection. What's the right move?I might say 'speculative fiction,' myself #askTBA

If a book is #ownvoices how do we present that in a query? In the bio? Literally write the hashtag? Been wondering #askTBAI think however makes you feel most comfortable. I've seen the hashtag in subj./ just a line of explanation in bio. #askTBA

If your debut novel is a romance, and it's the book that gets you an agent, are you expected to continue in that genre? #AskTBANot necessarily, but that's a conversation to have with agents who offer you rep. Ask them! #askTBA

#askTBA I got a nice pass, "aversion 2 aliens in Ya" but wished luck. Is this a thing? Mines more Indiana Jones quest w/ 1/2-alien teens.@HerringAli That sounds pretty personal/subjective to me. #askTBA
