...a YA fantasy, a MG story that makes me cry. I want to be surprised, really. (2/2) #okscbwichat

That's tough, since I like so many things and don't want to pigeonhole myself. A YA Western perhaps...(1/?) #okscbwichat

I represent author-illustrators, yes. #okscbwichat

...It was my time at Writers House that made me think of agenting down the line, so I was lucky! (5/5) #okscbwichat

...then thankfully, I landed at Random House and stayed for 5 years before I moved to agenting in 2015...(4/?) #okscbwichat

...so I took anything I could get--internships at Random House, Simon & Schuster, Writers House literary...(3/?) #okscbwichat

...to pursue other things, but I quickly missed publishing. I tried to get back in 2008 (oh, recession)...(2/?) #okscbwichat

I started out on the adult side at Penguin in 2005. It was my first job out of college. I then left briefly...(1/?) #okscbwichat

I would argue yes. Non-fiction generally easier to sell than fiction. Depends. #DVIndiaChat

Hmm, it's a problem. Look into excellent indie and small presses doing great work too. #DVIndiaChat

Research the right agent for the type of book you are writing. Personalize the query letter. Make it concise. #DVIndiaChat

Only takes one 'yes.' Having agent on your side still best way to break-out. But I'm biased. ;) #DVIndiaChat

I enjoy Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni & Jhumpa Lahiri. My taste is more literary but I like a commercial edge. #DVIndiaChat

I enjoy Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni's writing, for one, among many! #DVIndiaChat

Yes, very peculiar to me too. Let's change that! #DVIndiaChat

Personally haven't represented Indian author yet, would love to find the right one. #DVIndiaChat

Strangely, perhaps the agents interested in this type of writing have more literary taste? #DVIndiaChat

I don't know! You tell me! Would love to see more contemporary commercial Indian fiction. #DVIndiaChat

I'm not sure. I think that it's tough to write well. I do find Coelho's writing fascinating. #DVIndiaChat

Can think of many. The Kite Runner. Behind the Beautiful Forevers. Murakami books. #DVIndiaChat
