Ins and Outs: YA Input

[cathschaffstump]

This week’s outs:

Cori Deyoe of 3 Seas
Marcia Wernick of Sheldon Fogelman
Robin Straus of Robin Straus
Matthew Bialer of Sanford J. Greenburger
Jennifer DuVall of Schiavone

This week’s ins:

A request for a full.

We still have a partial out with Agent C from April. Agent D just had the entirety of Substance sent off today.

So, it’s been a better than average day for the queriverse. Remember, it only takes one yes, and you’ve got an agent.

The Japan trip can not stand up to my mighty organizational skills, and slowly I’m packing and making calls. Now I have to organize some things on the domestic front, like cat care and lawn mowing. Ah! how I shall miss lawn mowing. I’m also starting to get things around for Convergence, and here’s where you all can help me out.

I’m on a YA panel. Yup, the obligatory YA panel. I do know some things, but what I’d like are some good recs from y’all, and commentary, so I can do a better than average bout of research as I put my notes together. I’m not the head of this panel, but I want to represent the field in a balanced fashion. I’d like to have this bad boy put to bed before I head out to Japan.

If you have opinions, spill! I will, of course, credit your sage wisdom.

I can't help with YA recs, I'm afraid. The only one I've read is Melissa Marr's Wicked Lovely. That was a very good read, but I don't have anything else to compare it with.

Congrats and good luck with Agent C's partial and Agent D's full! Yay!

"...it only takes one yes, and you’ve got an agent." Absolutely! :)

I'm very happy you're back at it. :)
