.@nicolefischer13 what is considered a"flooded market" #AskAvonBks.@ShanaGray_ popularity of a subgenre grows --> lots of people write new books in that genre --> market becomes flooded. :) #AskAvonBks

Edith Lalonde @lalondee10
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

Lisa (Si)Lin(t Night) ❄️ 🇹🇼🇺🇸 @Laforesta1
#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

Jessie Edwards @jessie1013
@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
Editor
Sometimes I just comment "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" because I love something so much I have no words. #AskAvonBks
Editor
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
Editor
If I say "tighten" that means I think you could streamline a wordy, slow scene and/or find things you could potentially trim. #AskAvonBks
Editor
"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

What age categories does Avon Books publish? #AskAvonBks.@nicolelynnhoefs I'm not sure if this is what you mean but Avon doesn't publish YA. We do all other adult romances! #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

Don't feel bad if you can't finish the entire book in 1 month. If you put any words on the page, you made progress! #NaNoWriMo #askavonbks
