You...Marilyn--she explains that better on the call. You're right that they want what readers want (otherwise what's the point?), but she was really talking about not following trends. Right now dystopian is really huge, but saying this is "the next big dystopian" might not help you because, in the two years it will take to get your book out, dystopian is likely to fall out of favor with readers.<br /><br />Plus, I think they'll try edgy if it is well-written. The edgier it is, though, the better the writing, plot, characterization, etc, needs to be, to compensate.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09413777557796110450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8763479570339119644.post-12560888643326881942011-07-07T06:59:09.209-07:002011-07-07T06:59:09.209-07:00No. 3 "Don't say this is the next.."...No. 3 "Don't say this is the next.." is iffy.

They're reluctant to try something outside the box--something edgy.Marilyn Yarbroughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09067037435205726619noreply@blogger.com
