"Teens are discriminating readers with a lot of demands on their time, so what can you do to ensure that your novel is the one they ™ll all be dying to read? And does your book stand a chance at getting you an agent if it doesn ™t have wizards, vampires, or a dystopian setting? Literary agent Carlie Webber shares her ideas on what all agents want in a great YA novel, regardless of subject matter. The presentation opens with discussing what it means to write authentic YA voices, and explaining why crafting a YA voice is a different challenge from creating one for a tween or adult protagonist.
