Portal fantasy is tricky to do well because hey, Narnia, Wonderland, etc. Mine is more character-driven than world-driven though, so fingers crossed. :) Thanks for taking the time to reply!Kimberly Vanderhorsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01653757517652257445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-200721485261992830.post-781863273059205402013-11-22T22:34:35.707-03:002013-11-22T22:34:35.707-03:00Hey, Kimberly!

And sweet romance!!!! <br /><br />And I'm all right with that concept. As I said above, I like fantasy YA a LOT. I would look for originality with this concept, though, since there are a few "portal" books out there. So I'd look closely at the query. But if the writing is lovely and I like the MC, then sure! I may fall in love. <br /><br />In other words, I'd be happy to read.<br /><br />Hope this helps!<br />:D<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00482654021641010175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-200721485261992830.post-16667334305155754082013-11-22T22:26:37.369-03:002013-11-22T22:26:37.369-03:00I am totally smitten with your funny self, but I&#...I am totally smitten with your funny self, but I'm not going to say so. Because I'm cool like that. ;)<br /><br />I was wondering if you'd mind clarifying your tastes in YA Fantasy? I have a YA Contemporary Fantasy with lyrical prose and elements of humor and sweet romance (I draw a lot of inspiration from Allie Condie and Rainbow Rowell). But the story involves a mirror portal to an earth-like world, and I know that concept won't appeal to all mentors who list fantasy on their wish list. Thoughts? :) Kimberly Vanderhorsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01653757517652257445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-200721485261992830.post-85739933243229327372013-11-22T16:33:17.725-03:002013-11-22T16:33:17.725-03:00No prob! :)No prob! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00482654021641010175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-200721485261992830.post-15512224659678804922013-11-22T16:32:11.823-03:002013-11-22T16:32:11.823-03:00Super helpful!

But if the "mind reading" part is presented in a sort of real way, and nothing else is fantastic, then it *could* be magical realism, and that would be even better. <br />Of course, for me it's important to connect to the voice (I like "natural" voices, not chatty voices, which I see a lot in slush), and with the characters and their emotions. Sometimes it's more about these last things for me than the plot itself, makes sense? :)<br />Hope this helps!<br /><3 Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00482654021641010175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-200721485261992830.post-43014602209427564672013-11-22T16:08:38.182-03:002013-11-22T16:08:38.182-03:00Hi Monica!

Since you seem like you'd be an AWESOME mentor, I wanted to ask you if a mind reading/mind control story would fall under any of your "I would love to read" categories. I think of it as paranormal, but someone else called it magical realism or even fantasy. Any thoughts for me? :)Robin Hammerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15230468064178632378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-200721485261992830.post-23865035839362653682013-11-21T08:30:16.874-03:002013-11-21T08:30:16.874-03:00Awww.
