#askprintrun For first time queries, can writers pitch sequel or trilogy? or it has to just one book?Pitch the first book (we don't care about book 2 unless we like book 1), but mention it's a series #askprintrun

I've heard conflicting advice about querying 2 books simultaneously. Is this okay, or a huge no-no? #askprintrunDon't do it. If you're making a mistake, you'll be making it with two books, and will be unable to correct for the next one. #askprintrun

Last day on Earth, what Netflix show do you binge? #askprintrunWell, they took my main fandoms off, so maybe GBBO and Archer. #askprintrun

Good morning, #askprintrun. How long should someone expect to wait to hear back from an agent or editor following a full manuscript request?A full? Can be 6-9 months, if they're overloaded *coughs* *is shifty* #askprintrun

@LZats When will @erikhane finally give in to his inner Viking and become this guy? youtube.com/watch?v=8OIxBq… #askprintrunOnce he lifts a few more days a week instead of jogging or whatever. #askprintrun
