@inthesestones I just started using QueryTracker so I'll have to check this out! #BookEndsChatThat site is really a life-saver when it comes to tracking both your own queries and agents! #BookEndsChat

#bookendschat If you can't find good comps, do you include closest to be found, leave them out or use multiple comps?Your comp is about who reads that author, not direct comp to the book itself. Fans of _ would also enjoy my book. #BookEndsChat

#bookendschat If you can't find good comps, do you include closest to be found, leave them out or use multiple comps?Comps aren't a make-or-break for me. If you can't find good comps, I'd leave them out! #BookEndsChat

How long should I wait for a reply to a query before I consider it a no by non-response? Not sure when it's time to move on. #BookEndsChatCheck with the agent's twitter or where they're at response wise on QueryTracker. That gives an idea! #BookEndsChat

How do you define literary fiction? #BookEndsChatA focus on an internal plot over external, where the way a story is told is just as important as story itself. #bookendschat

How do you define literary fiction? #BookEndsChatSome see it as experimental fiction. Others where the character journey trumps the plot. #BookEndsChat

How do you define literary fiction? #BookEndsChatThis is one of those nearly-impossible-to-define genres because a lot of people see it differently. #BookEndsChat

Any tips for capturing complex, multiple-POV stories in queries? A focus on only one story line leaves so much out. #BookEndsChatI like multi-POVs. Most interesting thing to me in query is see the dynamic way they converge to move plot forward #BookEndsChat

Tracy Brody @TracyBrodyBooks
what are you hearing on RS? Hot? Not? Percent romance to suspense? Thanks! #BookEndsChatIt varies a lot. I think heat levels and ratio of romance to suspense really depend on the particular story. #BookEndsChat

Any tips for capturing complex, multiple-POV stories in queries? A focus on only one story line leaves so much out. #BookEndsChatMake sure you aren't throwing EVERYONE into the query as it can get overly confusing in a short space. #BookEndsChat

@Campbele_E, what are you tired of seeing in YA? Particularly fantasy. #BookEndsChat*zips in* unpronounceable names. comps to Game of Thrones. overly complex magic systems. #BookEndsChat

Any tips for capturing complex, multiple-POV stories in queries? A focus on only one story line leaves so much out. #BookEndsChatWell prob most imp thing is to show how they come together cohesively. So I wouldn't focus on just one #BookEndsChat

Any tips for aspiring authors that want to find an agent and be published? #BookEndsChatI agree with @inthesestones. The most important thing is to know who your audience is and make sure that comes thru #BookEndsChat
