Janelle Ambrose @literal_janelle

#bookendschat Is it true that a long wait after submitting a full MS to an agent usually means a long goodbye is in the offing?

Replying to @literal_janelle

Not at all. Sometimes (like for me) we just get behind on reading. Try not to read into response times! #BookEndsChat

Stephanie "Rebel Scum" Cranford @StephCranford

#BookEndsChat How exciting do you want a query to be? Is there a level where it's misrepresenting the novel itself?

Replying to @StephCranford

The biggest thing, for me, is seeing voice in a query. That alone can get me excited! #BookEndsChat

Steve Asbell @rainforestgardn

How involved is BookEnds on the editorial/career side of things? #BookEndsChat

Replying to @rainforestgardn

I'm insanely editorial (as the rest of #TeamMoe will attest to)! I'm here for your whole career. #BookEndsChat

Rachel Woe @storyofwoe

Thanks for taking the time to do this! How do ya'll feel about single POV romance and erotica? #BookEndsChat

Replying to @storyofwoe

That said? I definitely prefer 3rd person POV with two narrators for romance/erotica. #BookEndsChat

Janel Comeau @VeryBadLlama

How important is a writer's social media/online presence to you when you're considering taking on a client? #bookendschat

Replying to @VeryBadLlama

It's nice seeing if you have one? But for fiction it's not a requirement ahead of time. #BookEndsChat

Justine Elias @j_elias_writes

If I am a diverse author but my book is not about diverse characters, is that something you want to know in my query?#bookendschat

Replying to @j_elias_writes

I don't feel like it's something that needs to be mentioned, honestly. #BookEndsChat

Thanks for taking the time to do this! How do ya'll feel about single POV romance and erotica? #BookEndsChat

Replying to @storyofwoe

I don't mind single POV romance/erotica. But I find first person POV is not my cuppa. #BookEndsChat

Janelle Ambrose @literal_janelle

#bookendschat How do you feel about multicultural/diverse fiction by writers (like myself) who are in the developing world?

Replying to @literal_janelle

I'd always love to see more. Doesn't matter where you are in the world — I just want good fiction in my inbox #BookEndsChat

Laura Lashley @DistractLaura

@Campbele_E #bookendschat Glad you all don't do that, but is that something you hear agents do? Saw it as a theory on QT for an agent.

Replying to @DistractLaura

I don't think it's smart -- I'd want to show the most enthusiasm by being the first, not the last. #BookEndsChat

Sarah Hawthorne @SarahRHawthorne

#bookendschat what's gonna be the next big thing? Break out your crystal ball!

Replying to @SarahRHawthorne

I'd love to see YA horror become a thing. Creepy horror -- not jump scares! #BookEndsChat

Jessica Alvarez @AgentJessicaA

@SarahRHall My money is on kinky morticians and medical examiners! #BookEndsChat

Replying to @AgentJessicaA

You forgot the lawyers! #BookEndsChat

Laura Lashley @DistractLaura

#bookendschat Do some agents request fulls then purposefully wait to read them until the writer nudges with offer of rep? Is that a thing?

Replying to @DistractLaura

Hard to say what others do -- But it's not how I work! #BookEndsChat

M.E. Walker @MEWalker7

#BookEndsChat What genres or subject matters are you tired of seeing?

Replying to @MEWalker7

Chosen one stories in YA fantasy & ark ships taking us to a new planet/home in YA SciFi #BookEndsChat

Denise Parsons @denisebparsons

#bookendschat - Can it be from internal conflict, lack of growth/insight or does it always have to be altruistic? (amoral characters).

Replying to @denisebparsons

I don't think it has to be altruistic. As long as there is SOME reason... #BookEndsChat

· 15 Jun 2016

Denise Parsons @denisebparsons

#BookEndsChat - How do you make characters who do amoral things likeable?

Replying to @denisebparsons

Even if they do amoral things, I still want to root for them. OR love to hate them... #BookEndsChat

Tara Leigh Thompson @TLTAuthor

Beyond clients & work-related submissions, what book(s) r on ur summer TBR list? #BookEndsChat

I have a VERY large selection of comics to catch up on... #BookEndsChat

Laura Lashley @DistractLaura

Do you guys check query tracker? Scope out other agents on there? Just curious. :) #bookendschat

Replying to @DistractLaura

This peanut gallery here is keeping her mouth shut. Ahem. #BookEndsChat

Anne E. Terpstra @anneeterpstra

#bookendschat When submitting MS to editors/publishers, do agents have a small circle of favs you start with, or it is more open than that?

Replying to @anneeterpstra

Like most things: it depends. I go to who I think is best for the project! #BookEndsChat
