@juliakayjett it would depend on what stage you're in with your writing and career. #BookEndsChat

@JFKlekotka Trends come and go, but I know I'd certainly like to see some YA thrillers, myself. #BookEndsChat

@suedunn103 @agentjessicaa to me a psych thriller keeps me guessing and is more internal. #BookEndsChat

@suedunn103 @agentjessicaa a thriller needs to be creepy. Violence isn't necessary actually. #BookEndsChat

. @suedunn103 No, you don’t need violence. A big creep factor will do. I’m always open to non-gory thrillers! #BookEndsChat

@JFKlekotka @parmita_ Not necessarily. It really depends more on the book itself. The plot arcs and tropes, etc. #BookEndsChat

@jfklekotka @inthesestones @parmita_ I think that would depend on the book/plot/subject. It's sort of straddles the line #BookEndsChat

@parmita_ none of those make an author. just put a little about you. where you live. unrelated degrees, etc. #BookEndsChat

@parmita_ Yes, I think 18 is stretching it a bit. Could make it a tougher sell. #BookEndsChat

@parmita_ It's definitely in the upper end of YA. It's doable, but can be a bit tougher depending on genre involved! #BookEndsChat

Received query for "fictional novel" which is another vers of "fiction novel." Note, "novel"=work of fiction; no need to repeat. #askagent

Just answered a SLEW of #AskAgent questions on le tumblr. So many, I can't even link to them all individually. literaticat.tumblr.com

Tumblr #askagent: If my MS touches on racial experiences, should I mention that I am of the same racial background?bit.ly/1pe33Fs

.@Kerstin_Wolf There are many paths, but arguably the best way is to intern for an agent who matches your genre interests. #AskFuse

.@Karen_K_Lewis NA is "Oh, shit. I'm an adult. Now what?" in any genre. Age 18-25. Contemp WF isn't bound to that but is for women. #AskFuse

So it's a bit late, but I've just had my lunch & I'm going to take some time to answer some #askagent questions on newleafliterary.tumblr.com

Amuses me when authors who have obviously done their research on me, submit a trope I don't like anyway. Scrappy and no harm done! #askagent
