@caitief How bad is it to use movies for comps? I seem to have issues comparing my manuscript to something already in existence. #askDVpitI don't mind it as long as it's nothing too obscure. #askdvpit

Can anyone recommend some well-written YA books with Jewish protagonists? It's hard to find characters that share my religion. #askdvpitHa, shamelessly plugging @rlynn_solomon here. Her gorgeous debut comes out Spring '18! Dual POV Jewish protagonists. #askdvpit

are the setting and elements expected to be more generic to appeal to US market? Thank you! 😊 #askDVpitI don't think the setting needs to be generic/US-based so long as the themes and emotions feel universally resonant. #askdvpit

#askDVpit @JenPanda Do you edit strictly YA, or so you work with MG as well?Mostly YA! MG only if there's a super compelling reason for me to take it on. #askDVpit

@JenPanda How much sex is too much sex? How graphic? Like lead up to it then flash to the next morning? #askDVpitI'd say go with whatever feels most organic for your story. The right editor/agent will never see too-graphic sex as a dealbreaker #askdvpit

How do agents feel about sex in YA? Not graphic fifty shades of grey level but casual sex. #askDVpitNot an agent, but I love sex in YA! The world needs more sex-positive YA, tbh. #askdvpit
