Both. It changes the dynamics. It was unpublished now it will be pubbed, agents need to know this. It affects decision-making. #askagent

A short story anthology is a short story anthology, not a novel. So no. #askagent

It would depend on details, contract specifications etc. But you should tell the agents you query about this fact. #askagent

I have no idea, honestly. I personally am not interested in any. #askagent

I prefer emails. It's 2017 not 1987. #askagent

You can, but not at the same time. #askagent

Varies by how great or poorly it reads. #askagent

I stop when I lose interest, but I give it at least 30 pages. #askagent

Everything is a hard sale. Just write what you are compelled to write. If it's good, it has a chance. #askagent

Not in my case. I couldn't care less what your editor published, it's you I would be interested in. #askagent

Depends. But I think 6 weeks is a very very reasonable time. #askagent

Yes, give the title. But if published, the publisher may change the title. #askagent

Don't give up. You just need one yes. #askagent

I wouldn't. It may date a book. #askagent

Ha! Anywhere from 1-6 seconds. If you get me to read longer, then I am probably interested. #askagent

This seems a bit too common to me, but it's subjective. My common trope may be somebody else's "Oh wow." #askagent

As with everything in publishing: it depends. But, most of the time, I assume there was a reason for the agent having passed on it.#askagent

Yes, I do. And yes, kids do. #askagent

I would not quit my day job if I were a writer unless the finances work out. #askagent

It all depends. If you write a gigantic bestseller, then one may be enough. But for most writers, it will take a while. #askagent
