@UweStenderPhD Yay. Two questions about comps. Is Tiffany Sly lives her now famous enough to be used as a comp?In *my* world, yes, and there is a film scenario that might work out.

@BookEndsJessica @debralynnlazar @bookendslit Apologies! Do people who write books in different genres (children’s and memoir for example) tend to have an agent who works in Children’s and an agent who works in Memoir? Or, do they find one agent who does both well?It really depends. My suggestion is find the right agent for the book that's ready to query right now and let your path take you where it may. It might be 2 agents or one that handles all. Try not to predict or plan for what you can't know. #askagent

Follow-up question: do you, or any agents you know, hold it against a writer if they've had an agent (or 2) in the past? twitter.com/BookEndsJessic…I don't and I don't think anyone at @bookendslit will either. There are a myriad of reasons an author might have had multiple agents--a difference of vision, an agent leaving the business, a change in career. We get it. #askagent

I'm now seeking my 3rd agent, & I totally agree. HOWEVER, some agents get lit up abt ur work, but if they can't sell it & r excited by newer clients (new shiny object), may leave u behind. I know I'm not alone w/this experience. Besides a crystal ball, how can writers avoid this? twitter.com/BookEndsJessic…I don't know that you can honestly. Agents, like authors, can have evolving tastes and interests and sometimes that evolution doesn't align. I think you sign on and work toward "forever," but also know that sometimes people change. #askagent

@NaomisLitPix Hi! May I ask your opinion on posting work on platforms such as #wattpad and #inkitt? Do agents frown on this? #amwritingHappy to weigh in. Personally, I don't work with Wattpad titles unless substantially revised into something new. But other #askagent folks may have other opinions, and I hope others will weigh in!

@laurenspieller How open are you to another fairytale retelling? Do you think the market is to flooded for these?I’m open to it as long as it’s doing something new with the genre/is retelling a lesser-known fairytale

@laurenspieller What's the most important part about a romcom for you? Like what really defines the best parts of the genre?Ooo this is a good question. My answer isn’t great but it IS crucial: the story has to actually be FUNNY

@laurenspieller what's a trend that you would really like to see resurface in YA?Romcoms!!!
Okay, maybe that’s not fair—it’s not like there was a strong trend and then it disappeared, a la dystopian. But I still wants it, precious.
