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

@Mary_C_Moore What is the typical turn around time after a manuscript submission, if an agent wants to rep us ? #DVIndiaChatit can be anywhere from a week to a year. Depends on the amount of current client work #DVIndiaChat

@Mary_C_Moore @PanAsianVoices Your website says that you don't want urban stories. I have a story that starts out in a small town but 1/2however the market is always changing so I'd be open to it in the future when it's not so saturated #DVIndiaChat

@contagious_sid showing is a scene that occurs as it happens, telling is the narrator telling us what happens #DVIndiaChat 1/2being "told" a story isn't as interesting as experiencing it through the characters i.e. showing #DVIndiaChat 2/2
