Thinking about the response to my royalty tweet, and @nikeshshukla's research that the mysteries of the publishing process are creating barriers, here is a very general guide to the trad pub model from an author's perspective. Contracts vary, these are broad strokes, stay calm...This is a great thread for new/hopeful authors re the payment structures in traditional publishing...#amwriting #submissions #askagent Thanks @MaryAliceEvans

#askagent If an agent invites you to requery with revisions after a full request, do you go through the query stages again or send the full?I'd be very happy to see the full again after work...make sure you remind agent of previous interaction in note though #askagent

@JuliaChurchill #askagentIs there an age at which an agent might think 'that writer's too old to represent'?
(asking for a friend)
I don't think there is for me... But there may be challenges to discuss (which can be true of any age) #askagent

I want to be an author but want to get an internship in a literary agency to see what it's like. Is it a conflict of interest? #askagentI think it maybe depends on how it's approached: Time-Traveler's Wife or I invented a time machine... #askagent
