We represent both published and unpublished authors. However, when submitting work for consideration for representation you usually need a new ms or proposal. #askagent

Follow-up question: do you, or any agents you know, hold it against a writer if they've had an agent (or 2) in the past? twitter.com/BookEndsJessic…
Replying to @debralynnlazar

I don't and I don't think anyone at @bookendslit will either. There are a myriad of reasons an author might have had multiple agents--a difference of vision, an agent leaving the business, a change in career. We get it. #askagent

Lia_B @umm_Melia

#AskBookEnds #AskAgent Is it okay to send queries for new adult to agents who represent YA? Or is it better to stay on the safe side and only query agents who represent Adult fic?
Replying to @umm_Melia

It is, but I would suggest moving away from New Adult to either Adult or YA. It's going to be difficult to sell new adult in today's market. It never hurts to try to expand your list of queries though. #askBookEnds #askagent

Replying to @Blind_Nycteris

Agents do it by living this life day in and day out and talking to editors and publishers and knowing from our own experiences what books are selling and how they are selling. We can tell by the numbers when things decline for example & we pay attention. #askBookEnds #askagent

How important is Twitter, really?

#askagent @bookendslit
Replying to @avaunlocked

Twitter is a dirty black hole that sucks us in and makes us angry. So, not important at all. ;) No really, you don't need Twitter. You probably do need social media at some point in your publishing career, but pick the platform you like. #askagent

Destinee S. @winkchii

@BookEndsJessica Sorry if this is off subject but what are your views/experience on a revise and resubmit? Is there a chance for an offer? Or is it more likely a 'no' after the resubmit? Do you have any advice? Sorry again for so many questions!
Replying to @winkchii

I do think there's a chance for an offer. An agent would ask to see something again unless they are interested. Of course, it's also a bit of a test to see how you handle revisions. I think my advice, is do what you can do and what works for you to make it the best. #askagent
