First, you are fantastic and even though I know I'm not in this bunch (different genre), I would LOVE to work with you. Your guidance is just what I need and I'd love to sit and talk about some of the issues you described that follow me about like this:

Thanks for showing us all of this great advice!

My goodness, what an excellent thread! Thank you!!!

I didn't sub to you, but since you mentioned adult/YA crossover, I'm curious your thoughts on it. Is that something that should be listed in a query if it really truly fits? Is it something that people are successfully selling in fantasy?

Oh! I hope so. It’s what I’ve been putting down, but I’d love to know the answer to this too!

jenichappelle.bsky.social•7 days ago

I quoted to reply, but the short answer is yes

Thank you for this thread, I’ve added a bunch of things to my editing to do list! Any advice on creating natural transitions when switching to a new scene without adding too much in terms of word count?

So helpful to see how you approach the queries and pages and find areas to improve. Thanks for helping us all out with these!

This was super enlightening so thank you for sharing all of this!

Thank you so much for these, and for your additional helpful comments!! In addition to my question above about prologues, I have one more- if you’re submitting a manuscript as crossover YA, is including comps from both adult and YA acceptable? Or should the comps all be crossover as well?
