Which questions do you wish authors asked, but they rarely do, when considering a match with an agent? #AskTKA.@KatanaPen A lot of research should be done before the querying stage, which will take care of some of the questions. (Pt 1) #askTKA

@literaticat Is there a best way 2 present a PB trailer? W/ music, pics, text, or pages & someone reading a bit of the story? TYVM #AskAgent@grammypags1 I'm afraid I don't have any knowledge of book trailers. I don't make them or usually watch them! #AskAgent

@literaticat #askagent follow-up: what about a ms that includes death of family, loss of home, great personal peril?@NeysaJensen but again that is really splitting hairs, all those are basically interchangeable. It's _____ realistic fiction! #askagent

@literaticat #askagent follow-up: what about a ms that includes death of family, loss of home, great personal peril?@NeysaJensen that sounds more like "gritty"/realistic. "Edgy", to me, implies more "sex-drugs-rock n roll" #askagent

@literaticat I think what I mean is: is having a more introverted, quiet writing style befitting still considered "strong" in terms of voice@Karahsel sure - not everyone has to sound "sassy"'or whatever. It should fit the book/situation! #askagent

@literaticat #askagent I'm trying to discern the difference, if any, between YA that's "dark" and "edgy." Is there a difference? What?@NeysaJensen Those terms are used pretty interchangeably - but "dark" MIGHT mean scary/horror, "edgy" implies sexy/drugs/issues. #AskAgent

@JessWeibley That being said - reading lots of new books in your genre is the best thing you can do. Who is publishing what, etc. #AskAgent

@JessWeibley in other words - by the time you SEE a trend, that trend is probably over from an agents perspective. #AskAgent

@JessWeibley remember agents are picking things up TWO YEARS before they are in bookstores - so market trends are not a big factor #AskAgent

Melanie, Martian 👽 @libraryofmars
. @literaticat Did you see diary fiction in MG (specifically with doodles) maintaining its momentum? #askagent@sketchy_edu This does keep selling - but I think it'll have to differentiate itself going forward - just a diary won't cut it. #AskAgent
