.@Dani_NicoleYA #askTKA I'd consider it. Yes, it can be a tough sell, but anything amazing is worth the work.

.@eveeshepherd Check the agency's guidelines. Follow up with a nudge once it's past their response time. #askTKA

.@KAKraft Reading and loving a mystery by one of my clients right now. Would love to see more that's really original in this genre. #askTKA

.@Voxious Okay, maybe not, but they do go up exponentially if you hone your talent, act professionally and do your research. (Pt. 2) #askTKA

.@Voxious Odds of yes? The odds are ever in your favor. (Pt. 1) #askTKA

@Voxious That varies so much depending on the editor/agent, vacations, workload...guidelines should suggest how long for a response. #askTKA

.@KAKraft Apparently, I'm the mean one ;-) ("raw is not ready") #askTKA

.@KAKraft Writing has to do more than show promise. It has to blow us away. I'll encourage promise, but raw is not ready. #askTKA

.@KAKraft Most, I'd say, but there are also people who decide their work isn't ready or get nervous or have life events intervene... #askTKA

.@KatanaPen Make sure the answers resonate with you and that you feel you'll work well together. (pt 3) #askTKA

.@KatanaPen But once an agent is interested, I'd ask how hands-on, how they like to communicate, what they see for your work (pt 2) #askTKA

.@KatanaPen A lot of research should be done before the querying stage, which will take care of some of the questions. (Pt 1) #askTKA

.@thrillerBRITT We try to list the cons we'll be attending a few times a year in our newsletter. They vary year to year. #askTKA

.@Harperthewriter I second @pamelaharty #askTKA We have clients all over the world. Location isn't an issue. It's all about talent.

.@megr090 Yes, if it's gone through significant revision and the rejection wasn't based on the premise itself not suiting us. #AskTKA
