The 6th was her 2 year birthday.<BR/><BR/>About my comment on Nathan's blog and your age group for your book. Young college kids is trickier because an agent may label it adult, but it sounds like your audience is going to be the crossover audience. So when you send out queries I would stick with non age specific genres like paranormal romance. I think it fits your description of your book, and then the agent and publisher will choose where to market it.<BR/><BR/>For example, I know Stephenie Meyer did not orginially think of her books as YA, but they were marketed that way because the characters were "17" (I use quotes because only a couple of them were actually 17... ;) )<BR/><BR/>Your blog looks fun! I frequent another reading blog at myfavoriteauthor.blogspot.com that usually posts about some interesting things related to writing and authors. Just thought I'd let you know.Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17462679207010674240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3464615890138688829.post-45210353012744996222008-10-08T07:30:00.000-07:002008-10-08T07:30:00.000-07:00Very true, that a lot of it is opinion because I g...Very true, that a lot of it is opinion because I get conflicting feedback. One person loves a phrase while another hates it.

When you think you've done a wonderful job and someone flips through and doesn't fall in love, it hurts. You've spent a lot of time writing, you want your readers to have the same passion and vision for the characters as you do. <BR/><BR/>But all those extra eyes can be a big help too. It's amazing what can escape even the most careful editor.Liana Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14587774916354749190noreply@blogger.com
