Jessica Toman @jltoman83
If you pick up a client and later on they write something for a genre you're not interested in. Would you still rep it? #AskDLG@jltoman83 If the writing and story is amazing we would definitely consider it. Our goal is to rep for career of that writer #AskDLG

Elissa Dickey @ElissaDickey
Hi! Do you ever ask authors to revise and resubmit after making a request, and how do you decide? Thanks! #askdlg@ElissaDickey Sometimes. When I cannot let go of story but it needs further development. So not a pass but not an offer yet.#AskDLG

Soknou❁King @DaemonsWriter
@DonaghyLiterary I saw mention of using Facebook as a starting writer's website, but, is it preferred to have a dedicated domain? #AskDLG@DaemonsWriter FB is a social tool, great for interacting live time and connecting with other writers/fans both have importance. #AskDLG

Carol Anne Shaw @CarolAnneShaw
What happens if no houses "bite" on the first go around when you're shopping a manuscript? #AskDLG@DustySpider We review and listen to the feedback, is there a common thread? Do we need to revisit MS? Is it market? #AskDLG

Danielle Arie @DanielleArie
#AskDLGDo you consider yourselves editorial agents, and if so, to what degree/ where would you draw the line?

Lydia Lukidis @LydiaLukidis
@NobleValerie Great! I was told agents prefer if a writer had several on the go, so I wasn't sure. #AskDLG@LydiaLukidis This speaks to wanting a writer who is looking to write long term, always having a story on the go is good.#AskDLG

Carol Anne Shaw @CarolAnneShaw
I've heard that diary-style books (YA) have been done 2 death yet there always seems 2 B a great one hitting the shelves. #AskDLG Thoughts?@DustySpider My kids read all the latest! For me it would really have to stand out and not be a repeat of what has been done. #AskDLG

Lucas Pederson 👀 @pederson_lucas
Hey awesome agents! Do you see YA horror/dark fiction as a strong market? Also, what are your favorite narrative voices? #AskDLG@pederson_lucas I tend to lean to first person. YA horror/dark fiction not really my thing #AskDLG I lean to YA mystery/thriller
