Tabitha Sims @one_nerdy_mom
@MsMariaVicente Got it. How do you feel about authors submitting self-published work? #askagent.@one_nerdy_mom It needs to have had tremendous success to catch my attention. Usually better off querying with a new project. #askagent

.@MsMariaVicente Does it help if the writer has a body of work in 1 genre, but dabbles in something else to stretch themselves? #askagent@FictionCity It's not a good or bad thing, just something you and your agent need to keep in mind when deciding what to focus on. #askagent

Sara Marissa Patel @SeeSaraScribe
If u get an offer of representation, should an author give 1 or 2 weeks to the other agents w/queries, partials, fulls? #askagent@SeeSaraScribe Depends what you and the offering agent agree on for the timeline. 1 or 2 weeks is common. #askagent

Erica Davis Secor @thedavisgirl
Are my own illustrations better than no illustrations for a chapter book query? @MsMariaVicente #askagent.@thedavisgirl Nope. Only submit illustrations with a project if you're a pro illustrator and you want to illustrate the project. #askagent

@MsMariaVicente Why is there women's fiction but not men's fiction? If I'm writing humorous fiction about women, call it? #Askanagent@DreadfullyBusy Wish I had an answer for you! Let's just call it all fiction. #askagent

@MsMariaVicente Regarding writing in multiple genres, do you feel that's good/bad/indifferent? #askagent.@FictionCity It can be a challenge when making career-based decisions. Some agents are ok with clients who do this, some aren't. #askagent

S. L. Saboviec @Saboviec
@MsMariaVicente (One more, if I may without imposing.) If it's a retelling, should I include comps? Or is that overkill? #askagent.@Saboviec I have a love/hate relationship with comp titles. I wrote a blog post that could be helpful: mariavicente.com/post/110062546… #askagent

@MsMariaVicente #askagent how soon is too soon to send a new project to an agent who rejected your old project?.@Coffee_Is_love Doesn't matter. Many writers have multiple projects, and we understand that. #askagent
