#BookEndsChat Do you like dual POV in suspense?I think the problem with dual POV in suspense is typically I see the same old thing. killer v. protagonist #bookendschat

@2TheImp @LynnetteLabelle If they submit to everyone at the agency (esp simultaneously!) when our tastes are different #BookEndsChatSo much this. I can see waffling between @Campbele_E and myself as our tastes are quite similar! #BookEndsChat

Do you need to mention POV in the query for Romance? #bookendschatUnless it’s something really out of the ordinary, I wouldn’t mention it. #bookendschat

@BookEndsJessica @tauricox Does mentioning series potential matter? #BookEndsChatI like knowing going in if you see it as a series or a stand-alone. #BookEndsChat

@inthesestones @DanaNuens What about Portal Adult Horror? # BookendschatUnsure on that one as I've rarely seen portals and horror. I think it'd be how it's handled. #BookEndsChat

@inthesestones @BookEndsKim @BookEndsJessica @LynnetteLabelle that would have you leery of an author/novel 2/2 #BookEndsChatI'd say if I've seen the same book/query from you multiple times, long length of writing. Insanely high wordcounts. #BookEndsChat

@BookEndsKim What about using HARRY POTTER meets (something) to show the high concept? #BookEndsChatNo! avoid Harry Potter at all costs. He's not a comp, he's a life of his own. #bookendschat

@BookEndsJessica thank u! YA bc market teens. Is 'crossover potential' an arrogant or unwise thing 2 include in query? #bookendschatI wouldn't bother. many adults read YA #bookendschat

When a signing a new author, do you typically agree to only represent the current manuscript or future projects as well? #BookEndsChatI like to think we're going to be in for long haul. I'd like to build a career #bookendschat

After signing a new author, how many editors do you typically pitch in the first round of submissions? #BookEndsChatthat really depends. Each genre and book is so different. #bookendschat

After signing a new author, how many editors do you typically pitch in the first round of submissions? #BookEndsChatDepends on the book, really. A m/m erotic romance is different from a MG. #BookEndsChat

When a signing a new author, do you typically agree to only represent the current manuscript or future projects as well? #BookEndsChatUsually future projects because we want to build a career, not just sell one book. #bookendschat

Oh! Also, I heard YA Fantasy isn't selling as well as YA Contemporary. Is that true? #BookEndsChatIt's a tougher market. Portal fantasies are a tough sell I've seen -- make sure your book is unique! #BookEndsChat
