@UweStenderPhD If sample pages are strong, how much does a weak query influence an agent to request more? #askagentIt IS all about the writing. Weak query, great sample.... YOU will win. #askagent 😎

@UweStenderPhD What genre is Clan of the Cave Bear? Is it hist. fic if it's prehistory? Do u know if there's a market for this now?Historical fiction, I think. No idea on the second part. It's not for me. #askagent

@UweStenderPhD What do agents consider as a draft revision? I consider myself on draft 7, but I'm curious scope of changes considered as new draftDon't know. The only draft I want is the PERFECT one. #askagent

@UweStenderPhD If an agent declined my query w pages but I've done extensive revisions and it's a year later, okay to re-query them or not?Can't speak for others, but it would be OK for me. #askagent

Lynn Hooghiemstra @Nicky_Adams_Pen
@UweStenderPhD I'm noticing more books in first person POV. Is it a trend? I often want to know about the inner thoughts of other characters too.Depends on the book and how skillfully you use either #askagent

Ideally, it is 20 out of 20. I'd say 12 out of 20 is good. But, hey, who cares how many ask. You just need ONE sale in the end. #askagent

Brandy meinhardt @MeinhardtBrandy
@UweStenderPhD when a submission calls for query and sample pages, do agents read pages if query is good or bad?Yes, I think they do. Otherwise, they would not ask for it. Which is why I only want the query. #askagent

You are welcome. Thank you for your questions. 😎 #askagent

Literary Agent
Depends on the client. Some write a book or more a year, others write one or two. #askagent

@UweStenderPhD Thanks! What are your query pet peeves and what advice would you give to someone trying to break into the business? #askagentThere are so many pet peeves. The biggest: being to full of yourself. Be humble. Query the project, don't brag how genius it is. #askagent

Jennifer Murgia @JenniferMurgia
@UweStenderPhD Have you suggested R&Rs to a ms you've liked? Or is it a no if it's not quite polished to your liking the fist time around?I have requested them. It led to a couple of signings. So, absolutely. #askagent

Angel L Chu @angellchu
@UweStenderPhD Sorry! Received request for additional MS. Have some WIP's which need polishing up. OK to wait 24 hrs to finesse those before sending?Sure. Although I would be cautious with querying multiple manuscripts simultaneously. #askagent

Moxie Dude @MoxieDude
@UweStenderPhD My vision for the #nonfiction book I'm writing falls under the category of a new type of book or genre. Will this make eyes roll in a query?Sorry for my bluntness, but mine would be spinning out of their sockets. But other agents' might not. #askagent

@UweStenderPhD Which tropes or elements are you personally tired of seeing in submissions?I answered a similar question during my last #askagent. Essentially none, as long as they get a fresh interpretation.
