@UweStenderPhD Any advice for a writer who keeps being rejected? #askagentDon't give up. I was rejected so many times, any normal person would have quit. But look at me now. So believe in yourself. #askagent

@UweStenderPhD What makes you say yes to an author? What are you looking for in books now? #askagentThe writing. That is the answer to both questions. In non-fiction, the platform is also important. And I don't work with Jerks. #askagent

@UweStenderPhD Is it best to go with agents who have specific tastes (only adult or only YA) or those whose tastes are broad? Why? #askagentIt is best to go with an agent who is best for YOUR career. YOU need to look out for YOU. #askagent

@UweStenderPhD what would make you ask for an R&R vs. reject? #askagentThe voice. You can fix plot, but you can't fix voice. #askagent

@UweStenderPhD YA trope that bugs you the most and you love the most?I can't say.Everything has been done before, so in a way everything is "tropey." If tropes are refreshingly told, I may like them. #askagent

@UweStenderPhD Just saw this - sorry if repeated question. Do you reject manuscripts if too much passive voice, more tell than show, etc. or do you edit?I edit, a lot usually, BUT if the manuscript is poor and this example is depressing, I would neither request it nor edit it. #askagent

@UweStenderPhD Basically, do agents only take on a certain # of new clients in a certain period? #askagentDepends on the greatness of the manuscripts. And other factors. #askagent

@UweStenderPhD If you request, say, 10 fulls and 3 are great, would you offer on all three back to back, or pick the best. #askagentIF they are all truly GREAT, as in GREAT, hell yeah, I'd want them all. #askagent

@UweStenderPhD Is it a faux pas to query 2 diff agents with 2 diff MS (diff genre) at the same agency? #askagentLet me add: yes, if at the same time. No, if not at the same time. #askagent
