I’m curious. Why do you think most editors and agents are asking about Chiquita Lit? What is it about the Latina market that makes editors and agents especially interested in finding these books? And also, would you talk a little bit about publishing under a Latina/multicultural imprint versus not? (I suppose this goes back to the matter of specialization.) I have mixed feelings on this issue and was wondering what you see as the pros and cons. Great blog! Hi, Marcela!
