Daniel Best @LeftNWriteBrain
@NaughtyBrent @caitief, Is there an acceptable length of time to sit on an agent's offer of representation? #asknewagent@LeftNWriteBrain @caitief I don't like my offers to sit for more than a week. But I'm pretty tenacious, so they rarely do. ;) #asknewagent

Nicole Lynn Hoefs @nicolelynnhoefs
After how many rejections should an author probably revise their query and/or pages? #asknewagent@nicolelynnhoefs I wouldn't say it's a hard number. If you're not getting the results you wanted, revise. #asknewagent

Have you ever referred a query to another agent if it was great, but didn't match your interests? #asknewagent@dalessandro512 absolutely! And I've signed clients this way, too. #asknewagent
