If it works, it works. Send it out widely and see. The only way you know for sure, is if you put it across every agent's desk #askagent

My oldest client was in her 80's and she did well! #askagent If it works, it works.

No. #askagent

It so depends on the book. Send out when you're sure you've done all you can, and stop trying if you've shared with everyone. #askagent

Most books don't become bestsellers, and a lot of authors who never make it to the lists have great careers. #askagent

Sometimes the translations of a rhyming text are in prose. #askagent

For me, being an assistant to an agent. #askagent

It doesn't put me off, but it's something I'd be keen to know. #askagent

Publishers love playful, clever, child-friendly rhymes and are always looking for new writers who can write them. #askagent

lol #askagent

I would hope the whole career. That's what we're there for, the long term plan. #askagent

I sometimes read it, if there's cause to. #askagent

Hope for what? Improving? Always hope there. No one picks up a violin & goes straight to the London Philharmonic. #askagent

It's a fine balance. I want a blurb that gives me a good sketch, and a little about the author. Warmly professional. #askagent

Slightly depends on the level of success they've achieved, but really it's a neutral. #askagent

That's fine. We aren't rigid about cut-offs as long as there is reason behind your decision. #askagent

I'd see what happens if you send out to some agents. If no feedback & no interest, maybe consider paying for help. #askagent

All. If you haven't finished writing & revising, you're sending a 1st draft & that's not your best foot forward. #askagent

If it goes beyond what the website guidelines state, drop them a line. Sometimes one can fall between cracks #askagent

I would. Otherwise it may take forever. Five or six at a time is good. Gives you a chance to revise if you get feedback. #askagent
