@UweStenderPhD Have any current markets raised brows in the industry? Long forgotten genres brought back to life, or any go-to's that are faltering?Hmmm, great question. I don't know. In the end I believe the cream rises to the top as long as the cream does not quit first. #askagent

@UweStenderPhD Is everyone writing a YA trilogy?Does anyone publish literary fiction anymore?
Thank you and thanks for doing #askagent
Ha. Not everyone. There are plenty who publish literary fiction. But, it is a tough market. Thank you for participating in #askagent

@UweStenderPhD Does YA with crossover appeal make for an easier or tougher sell to publishers?I think tougher. A specific target audience is easier to market to. #askagent

@UweStenderPhD Any feelings about the current genre definitions, such as YA? Do readers understand them? Too broad? Too specific? Just right? #AskAgentNo feelings either way. They seem clear to me. Can't speak for "regular" readers. #askagent

@UweStenderPhD #askagent If an agent can't sell ur project, do they more often break up w/the client or try to rep something else from the client?We try to rep future books, other agencies may or may not. I can only speak for #TeamTriada. #askagent

@UweStenderPhD #askagent if you felt a ms needed a big revision would you still offer rep or ask for a R&R?Depends. If the voice is great, but the plot a bit, but fixably messy, I may offer rep, but likelier an R&R. #askagent

What is one (or more) question authors don't ask enough that they should start asking? #askprintrunAsk about long-term career vision (not just money, a deal). Think about personality-matching and the day-to-day work #askprintrun

#askprintrun When an author has an online platform, what do you look for and what deters you from wanting to work with them?I'm mostly looking for reach + engagement. The only thing that deters me is if they're spammy or a Trump supporter #askprintrun

#askprintrun Does an author having shorter works published in magazines help their chances?I would like to say yes, but honestly, I don't really look/care. I'm interested in the book. #askprintrun

I personally am focused on the one being pitched. I want to work with an entire future career, but that requires a first book #askprintrun twitter.com/TiffanyLeaElme…Ditto. It's not required that an author has like, 4 books written #askprintrun

#askprintrun Is first person present tense a death knell for adult contemporary romance - ie Is it a difficult sell to publishers?I don't think so. The key is to, as with everything, do it right. #askprintrun
