Care To Know What New York Editors Are Looking For? Do THIS.

Amazing agent Kristin Nelson (of Nelson Literary Agency, based in Denver) recently spent six weeks in New York, meeting with editors to find out what they’re drooling for these days. Care to know more?

There are some juicy tidbits involving Middle Grade, Young Adult, and Adult manuscripts.

Thrillers, steampunk, action-adventure, family dramas, epic fantasy, romance, literary voices, emotional depth—they're all mentioned, but you'll have to read the newsletter to find out the context.

  7. Okay, okay! You convinced me. :-) I belonged to their mailing list a while ago, but I went through a huge unsubscribing spree, and that was one of the victims. But I did end up signing up again, because it really was a good newsletter.
