My #YA #STEM Mystery (girl chemist) has educational twist (ie @KathyReichs bks) Do I keep querying agents OR approach publishers?#AskDVpit#AskDvpit most pubs do not accept directly from a writer. Agents are more than a vehicle to pubs, they represent your best interests.

NA appears only be romance, would querying a fantasy/sci-fi in that category hurt the manuscripts chances? #askdvpit#AskDvpit I would prefer that the category of YA or Adult be used for fantasy or sci-fi. Also less call right now for NA.

If an agent passed on a full before but invited you to submit in the future, should you mention this in a new query to them? #askDVPit#AskDvpit Yes! We tend to have good memories for subs read. Beneficial to mention.
