Susan Burdorf @sburdorf

@annmrose #AskAgent what is something you would love to have in your inbox that has so far eluded you? Conversely, what is something you get a lot of that you don't want to see for a while?
Replying to @sburdorf

This one is tough. I’d love to see some more joyful stories (but this doesn’t mean I don’t love a good revenge plot) I’d love some more f/f romances in both YA and adult.
I’d like to see less misogynistic stories 😬

K J Copple is querying @kjcopple

@annmrose Any tips on mitigating imposter syndrome as the rejections roll in? Also, is condensing the story into a pitch or query a normal/common struggle, or does it point to problems with the manuscript itself if that part of journey to pub feels so flipping awkward?
Replying to @kjcopple

Imposter syndrome is part of the territory unfortunately — but know you aren’t alone in this feeling
Query letters/pitches are hard so it’s not an immediate red flag if you find them difficult but the basic questions should come easily - what are the goals/obstacles/stakes

ECD is querying @ecoyledivers

@annmrose Hi Ann, thanks for your time. At what time should we give up on a query? Asking in cases where there are not clear guidelines on the agent's or agency site. For example, no response in 3 months = no.
Replying to @ecoyledivers

These days 3 months feels like a finger snap when considering queries (which I know it doesn’t on the author side) so I would amp that up to at least 6 months and even then it might not be dead to an agent so following up if you get an offer isn’t a bad idea

Cas Fick @CM_Fick

@annmrose How long is an R&R good for? Is there a statute of limitations on them, or does this vary depending on agent?

Thank you for your time!
Replying to @CM_Fick

That’s tricky. I think it’s as long as it needs to be but not too long that the agent forgets completely about the project. If I were to put a number on it 3-6 months I think is the sweet spot

L.C. Perry 💚💜💖💪🏾 @LPanimefreak5

@annmrose From your perspective, do you think tradpub is finally moving toward another attempt at making NA a thing? Or is there still a long ways to go?
Replying to @LPanimefreak5

So w/ NA it comes down to the publishers’ customer—the bookstore—so when the bookstore creates a space for NA I think that’s when it’ll become a thing, but until then it’s difficult to sell them a book they don’t have a space carved out for. This is like a chicken/egg scenario
