@JuliaChurchill #askagent Another Q... How much of a problem is it if I struggle to define what genre my MS fits into? ThanksAs long as the work speaks for itself, that's fine. Some books are mould-breakers. We all like a good mould-breaker. #askagent

@JuliaChurchill is it true that it's much harder to get a rhyming PB pub? What would make you consider one? Thank you #askagentI love a good ryhming picture book & so do publishers & kids & parents. It's just they're hard to do brilliantly. #askagent

@LenihanAisling Be systematic, keep a spreadsheet, keep sending out in batches, if you get good feedback, hit pause and revise. #askagent

@JuliaChurchill Jumping in...If an agent follows you on Twitter, can you approach them after sending your sub as a way to connect? #askagentDepends. Fine to say 'hi, I just sent you something!' on twitter, but if you're chasing a response, do it by email. #askagent

If you're submitting #PB manuscripts can you submit several at once or do agents prefer just one at a time? Thanks! #askagentSeveral at once is fine with me, and most other picture book agents, I believe. #askagent

@JuliaChurchill is it best to get agent before approaching a publisher, and for illustrated books do you need a finished manuscript? Thanks!If you're looking to grow a career, rather than a one off, then that's what an agent helps with. #askagent

@JuliaChurchill what makes a novel a crossover between adult and YA?It's something that takes place in the market. I guess ask yourself what has made you like some YA books. #askagent

Leigh Barnard @leighjbarnard
@JuliaChurchill Is it still true that girls will read MG books with boy mc but not the other way around? Has YA changed that? #askagent@iamleighbarnard I think largely not true. An idea that was given plenty of oxygen but doesn't seem to be accurate. #askagent
