Christiana Doucette#AskKidLit What are some of your favorite book events?
@doucette515 I actually really enjoy writers conferences from time to time. Being at ALA this past summer was a blast, too. I'd forgotten how fun it can be to work the booth. #AskKidLit
@robinspncr So commercial YA is usually high concept (think easy to pitch in a one-liner: Zombies in space!), and has broad audience appeal. #AskKidLit
Robin Spencer@alioop7 I’m new here, but I have a question! How woyld you define a “commercial” YA book? Are there some specific themes or word count? #AskKidLit #KidLit #YA
I think #AskKidLit's going to have to run a little differently here, and I need to figure out the kinks. But if you have a publishing question, tag me and use the hashtag (so others can learn from the discussion) and I will get you a reply as soon as I can.
Also, feel free to boost so we can find our #KidLit and #YA people.
So, my #kidlit friends. If Twitter dies, I would really like to try to make #askkidlit live on here. But I'll need your help to get out the word if/until I have the reach to make it so. So let's try to build this robust space for sharing and demystifying the publishing world together. I'll be here. Please join me!
