but only send if you are otherwise interested in working with the agent; don't just send to anyone and everyone. #askdvpit

I lost out on a couple I wanted too! #askDVpit

you never have to say yes to an offer of rep even if you queried/sent material if you don't feel it's the right fit. #askdvpit

I would say yes. And if they offer rep, it is something to ask about in the call@ #askDVpit

I think it's worth it & then having a convo about it with the agent if they're interested. #askdvpit

any sort of YA or MG that feels like the month of October is a big YES for me. #askdvpit

wish I could give you a sure answer! It's hard to predict what the next wave will be, and harder to write to it. #askdvpit

I sure hope so! Editors I talk to are interested, but there seems to be less of a "next big trend" in YA right now. #askDVpit

when the market is ready again for paranormal I will bathe in vampires and magic and werewolves. #askDVpit

I AM READY FOR PARANORMAL TO HAPPEN AGAIN. #askdvpit

a bad agent is worse than no agent! Be patient and commit to the right fit! #askagent

Funny, high-concept, and/or diverse historical romance! Latinx romance characters! A little explored time & place! #askDVpit

.@KatCho @nikki2smith agreed. #askdvpit

nope -- it could be adult with teen characters. It has to do with the tone, voice, temporal perspective, etc #askdvpit

I know I am looking for it! #askDVpit

I'd love some funny YA (or MG, of course, always)! #askdvpit

I personally would love to see it! It's such an underserved area. #askDVpit

beginning! And maybe subject line #askagent

saying no! Most of our nos are not because the book is bad. it's because we're not a great fit #askagent

I'd use a pen name if you're a little worried about it, TBH. it's better to be confident! Use first+middle initial? #askagent
