Great question! I usually expect them to ask about my editing and readying process, my communication with my clients, editors or houses I have in mind, specific changes/edits for their manuscript, sales/contacts, and permission to contact my clients as references.

@tallcapdoppio work you can! Grammar mistakes slip through, but we do consider the amount of work needed to perfect it! #askagent

@tallcapdoppio As long as it's not TOO much grammatical work, I'd be okay. You want to present an agent with the best possible #askagent

@bookcrazie to commit to getting this book and author to where they need to be? #askagent

@bookcrazie they written/published anything else? Will I get along with them? Do they want to be a writer? Do I have the time... #askagent
