@UweStenderPhD Any feelings about the current genre definitions, such as YA? Do readers understand them? Too broad? Too specific? Just right? #AskAgentNo feelings either way. They seem clear to me. Can't speak for "regular" readers. #askagent

@UweStenderPhD #askagent do you prefer long or shorter first chapters?I want great first chapters. The length is not that important to me. #askagent

@UweStenderPhD #askagent If an agent can't sell ur project, do they more often break up w/the client or try to rep something else from the client?We try to rep future books, other agencies may or may not. I can only speak for #TeamTriada. #askagent

@UweStenderPhD #askagent if you felt a ms needed a big revision would you still offer rep or ask for a R&R?Depends. If the voice is great, but the plot a bit, but fixably messy, I may offer rep, but likelier an R&R. #askagent

@UweStenderPhD #askagent Another Q made me think of this: Does it send a negative message if my comps are TV shows/movies instead of books?Not at all. My favorite comps are movies and TV. #askagent

Lisa Roe @lisaroewrites
@UweStenderPhD How do you feel about stories w/ midlife women reinventing themselves? Some say it's being over done.If the story is unique, and with a strong hook, why not? If it's the same old same old, then NO. #askagent

@UweStenderPhD #askagent May I ask another, please? I don't like Comps in a query. Do you think they should always be there? My story is unique to me :)No, not necessarily. Sometimes they are useful to "ground and place" the work, and might help with a dake/offer. Ask away. #askagent

Vanessa @vanessaepeay
@UweStenderPhD #askagent do you like queries to be personalized or jump right into the pitch?As long as you greet me "Dear Uwe" etc., I am fine. There is always a fine line between personalized and stalkerish. 😃 #askagent

Lee VanBrakle @LVanBrakle
@UweStenderPhD during a Twitter pitch contest, if I receive likes from more than 1 agent @ the same agency, what is the protocol? #askagentI can only speak for #TeamTriada. You can submit to all of us who liked it. #askagent Just tell us so we know.

Jennifer Lefebvre @jenniferlwriter
@UweStenderPhD - What's your thoughts on authors using Wattpad? Do agents consider this a form of self-publishing? #askagent #amwritingI have a wonderful client who is also a Wattpad star. #askagent

@UweStenderPhD If I sign wi/an agent & get a book deal, then the agent and I part ways what happens to the royalty relationship with publisher? #askagentThe agency who sold your book will rightfully get the royalty forever. Until the end of time and beyond. #askagent

I'm not afraid to take on anything. I can only speak for myself. I have no clue what other people do or don't do. #askagent

AJ Roberts @PatumPeperium
@UweStenderPhD Is there a genre/sub genre that is out of vogue or saturated at present? #askagentI believe that dystopia still is. But regardless, I would write what I would feel compelled to write. Don't chase trends. #askagent

Lee VanBrakle @LVanBrakle
@UweStenderPhD received a revise&resubmit from an agent. they're closed to queries for summer, do I wait until they reopen to send #askagentI would not. Strictly speaking a revise$resubmit is not a new query, so as long as they stand by their word, you should be fine. #askagent
Literary Agent
K.A. Dorgan, PhD @KADorgan
@UweStenderPhD Your opinion about when to stop querying & revise. Worked w 2 editors & beta readers. No bites from 20+ agents. Willing to revise but...I would never quit if you still love the manuscript. But I would write a new novel as well. #askagent

Maria Tureaud @Maria_Tureaud
@UweStenderPhD Best to call my YA wip sci-fi/fantasy or speculative fic? Is there a definitive difference? #askagentI think speculative fiction is the umbrella under which sci-fi/fantasy falls. But I don't think it makes a drastic difference. #askagent
