We’ve done a whole blog post on optimal lengths for manuscripts for different ages. Check out our blog for that and other interesting writerly posts… skylark-literary.com/blog #askagent

For anyone interested in some of the Qs & As that cropped up during last night's #geaqa #askagent

And don't forget, there's lots of helpful info on our blog for budding children's/YA book writers - skylark-literary.com/blog/ #askagent

Our latest blog is up - and it's all about making the most of one-to-ones. #askagent twitter.com/SkylarkLit/sta…

@FinlaysonPalmer @Serendipity_Viv Then go with the one who you feel you could work best with. #askagent

@elizabethdunn89 Epic Q! Yes & similar things with some small diffs. Both markets buoyant. More diffs between editors than markets #askagent

@GuyLucas01 Still seeing quite a lot of dystopia & it's not the best time for it at the mo - there's been too much too recently. #askagent

@JanetBoyle10 Publishers more likely to do this than agents as more valuable 4 author to be at fair if they already have publisher #askagent

@FinlaysonPalmer But of course we'd hope that author would feel most comfortable with us and our lovely #TeamSkylark! :-) 2/2 #askagent

@FinlaysonPalmer Honestly it's all about who/where the author feels most comfortable so we wouldn't try to entice as such! 1/2 #askagent

@Writeronherway Honestly, poetry is still a really hard sell but we hope one day that might change! #askagent

@kgizmothefirst @JoannaMoult It is when you tell your readers lots of info in one hit without weaving it smoothly into the story. #askagent

@meghandwrites Also getting into your characters' minds by writing pieces from their pov (not for the book just for you) helps #askagent

@meghandwrites It's hard! See our blog here - skylark-literary.com/blog/?offset=1… - it might help! 1/2 #askagent

@Serendipity_Viv Usually best 2 go strt in2 chap1. Otherwise you're asking reader 2 start book twice & u have 2 hook them twice! #askagent

@GuyLucas01 Publishers always like series POTENTIAL in case bk1 is a bestseller! #askagent

@GuyLucas01 For older readers stand-alones popular right now as they allow the author to write something new if book 1 doesn't fly #askagent

@GuyLucas01 This is cos young readers like series stability & safety to develop reading habit. #askagent

@GuyLucas01 At the younger end of the market publishers nearly always want series potential. At upper end they want stand-alones #askagent

Just over 1 hour till #ukteenchat at 8pm! @JoannaMoult & I will be joining in to discuss writing for teens. Feel free to come & #askagent!
