A big announcement! We're launching a puzzle line at St. Martin's Press, starting with a puzzle book co-created by @dondanohue and co-written alongside @riddlefish and @55margaritas. Make puzzles with your friends, y'all! It's the best way to do it.

Make puzzles with your friends, y'all! It's the best way to do it.
THIS. It's like fusion cooking, are you combining flavors in a way that brings out the best parts of both or accidentally eliminating what people love about each?
“Doesn’t fit” and “breaks the rules in an effective way” are different and I think that’s the distinction that matters
@laurenspieller Do you want just Fantasy or will Romantasy do?
@laurenspieller Cough cough this may be coming ur way soon 👀 x.com/emmailene_/sta…
hi agents who may see this: lets say an unagented author had interest from a top foreign publisher to buy foreign rights. Should the author...seek representation? Asking for a friend 👀 👀
@laurenspieller a lot of the agents I’ve queried tend to offer fast on QT, if they take longer to respond to fulls is that a bad sign?
@laurenspieller How many, if any, clients have you had that have published prior to you working with them?
@laurenspieller Is there a difference between a cover letter (UK) and a query letter (US)? Can they can used interchangeably? 🤔
@laurenspieller Approx how many new clients do you take on per year?
@laurenspieller What do we think about New Adult as a genre? My book has an 18 year old protagonist dealing with some very adult situations, and feedback from several agents has been that the writing and story are great, but they don’t know where they would place it in the market.
@laurenspieller How can you as an agent tell the difference between "this doesn't fit genre categories well and won't sell" and "this doesn't fit genre categories well and will sell bc XYZ"?
@laurenspieller When do you know a "trend" is turning back around? Like, for example, paranormal romance or distopia? Are there certain books or deals that give a nod? #askagent
@laurenspieller Hi Lauren, thanks for doing this! Could you explain why authors shouldn’t ask a question in a query? For example if I wanted to write “What if love really was a game?” to set up my 2nd paragraph why’s it a no-no? I don’t mind following the “rules” but I’m curious. Thanks again!
@laurenspieller Hello! Thanks for taking questions! I'm wondering how long is too long for upper MG sci-fi? My MS is currently at 85K which I'm assuming is too long. I'd love any insight on how much to aim to cut!
@laurenspieller What are your favorite thriller or mystery tropes to read and that you are looking for?
@laurenspieller I have not seen any adult black romantasy books. Is this a thing?
@laurenspieller Hi and thanks for taking the time to do this! In which category would you place a rom-com in a (low) fantasy setting?
@laurenspieller Hi Lauren! What market trends are you seeing in the YA fantasy space? High fantasy epics, or more contemporary, grounded? ✨
@laurenspieller How many rejections in the agent-querying stage is normal, and at what point should an author reconsider querying strategies for a ms?
@laurenspieller i have a map made via Inkarnate for my high fantasy setting. would it be off-putting to include it in the ms to help show where islands are in relation to each other?
