The part of the editing process that excites you the most. The !!!!!!! discovery? The love THIS revision? The HEA moment of pub? #askavonbks.@lalondee10 I love all those parts but there's nothing like the day new books arrive from the printer! I squeal every time. #AskAvonBks

#askavonbks When acquiring new books/authors, do you consider subgenre? e.g. This is a great pnr, but we have a lot, need more contemps?.@Laforesta1 We do have to consider what will stand out in a flooded market. Lots of similar books = lots of competition! #AskAvonBks

@TessaofAvonlea I know this one I think! The letter combination of TK is not in a lot of words, so it's easy to find in a document.@jessie1013 @TessaofAvonlea Yes! The very wise @sarahmaclean once told me this, I think! #AskAvonBks

Here's a very cryptic comment... I use "hmm" to draw your attention to a place that may be problematic. It gave me pause! #AskAvonBks

If I say "tighten" that means I think you could streamline a wordy, slow scene and/or find things you could potentially trim. #AskAvonBks

"I'm not sure you want to go that route" is my nice way of saying I think you may want to rethink a plot/character element. #AskAvonBks

Okay this is an author PSA. You all really REALLY should know how to use Track Changes. It is important in publishing this day in age. 1/2From a lovely Agent pal... This is pretty relevant to our current #askavonbks chat! twitter.com/seyitsme/statu…

Faye Delacour @FayeDelacour
What are the most frequent things you ask authors to change in revision requests? Any common problems? #AskAvonBks.@FayeDelacour I often ask authors to flesh out character motivations. Why they make a choice, acted a certain way, etc. #askavonbks
