I love forced proximity but most often read/write it as snowed in #AskAvonbks twitter.com/TessaofAvonlea…YES! I love those. I want someone to write a great suck in an elevator novella. #AskAvonBks

Trope I didn't realize I wanted more of: H and H stuck together for "reasons" (tied up!) like in @AuthorABouchet PROMISE OF FIRE.#AskAvonBks

George Clooney's whole love life is a romance novel. #AskAvonBksTHIS! I would read the heck out of the Amal Clooney Story! #AskAvonBks

@avonbooks #askavonbks hey there! what criteria do you use to decide if something is "steamy" vs "erotic. What tips it over the edge?I would say "I know it when I see it" generally. #AskAvonBks

@RdotSpoon @nicolefischer13 I might actually be more okay with a baby showing up if I didn't remember giving birth. But then it's an amnesia book. #AskAvonBksAnd this, right here, is a book someone needs to write for me right now!! #AskAvonBks

AgreeI dislike in contemporary just because it seems so crazy. But @sherrythomas's RAVISHING THE HEIRESS is #goals #AskAvonBks twitter.com/authorandiej/s…See, I like it if it's done right! More "date/boyfriend" of convenience. #AskAvonBks

This one maybe be a bit more controversial but I will read any virgin hero you can throw at me. #AskAvonBks

Oh, I almost forgot. I love boats! Ships! Space ships! Trap the h and h out at sea (or space) and watch sparks fly! Am I alone? #AskAvonBks

In contemporaries I love "reunited lovers" stories. (The next @WriterTJKline has an amazing one that gave me so many feelings!) #AskAvonBks

I'm also a sucker for a good "Heroine has to dress up like a boy" story. Something about the disguise works for me. #AskAvonBksDoes anyone know a good contemporary with this trope? Like that terrible 80s soccer movie? #AskAvonBks

My governess fascination doesn't work in contemporaries. I have no problems with teacher heroines but not an "instaread" for me. #AskAvonBks

My favorite trope is one word! Governess. If you've got a governess as your heroine, chances are I will read it. #AskAvonBks

Seege @SeegeVega
Honolulu, 1941. Three sisters from a prominent Hawaiian family deal with love, cultural divides, and war. #askavonbks.@Seege1977 I'm intrigued. Is it a romance or women's fiction? (Meaning more about romantic relationships?) #AskAvonBks

If one were to pitch at a conference or such, should it be just one sentence or three? #AskAvonBks.@KimBailey1019 I would definitely go for longer! Generally pitches are at least 5 minutes and I'm going to ask follow ups #AskAvonBks

@avonbooks #askavonbks Do you recommend doing your homework, and tailoring your pitch to the specific editor/agent your pitching?This is a great question. I think get the perfect pitch but tailor your questions to the editor/agent/house you're pitching. #AskAvonBks
