I probably wouldn’t even notice the original typo... #askagent

All the advice on how to find a literary agent 👇
#askagent

Today has proved beyond any doubt why authors sometimes simply just need an advocate. #askagent #literaryagent

I am absolutely looking for happy endings at the moment - all genres. I think currently readers do not want to invest 2-3 hours reading a novel to be depressed at end #askagent #SoAWritingRomance

An agent is there as a career manager so it is down to what author wants from their writing career as to whether they need or want an agent #askagent #selfpubconf

Asked by a writer at #selfpubconf how to define genre of their novel. Whatever is the main plot defines main genre so a mystery with a sub plot romance is a mystery first. Or vice versa. #askagent

Agents are career managers for authors so securing them contracts for their books, negotiating these contracts and protecting & promoting their interests. Think manager in music biz 🎶 but in publishing. #askagent #selfpubconf

"Whether historical or contemporary, I don’t see enough... life or death drama coming in on submission, and I’d love to." I spoke to @histnovel for the @histnovsoc magazine #MSWL #literaryagent #askagent historicalnovelsociety.org/ask-the-agent-…

I was asked: "What advice have you for authors trying to get an agent?" I replied: "A lot of approaches to agents are 'copy and paste' so you will stand out if you take the time to tell the agent why they might be right for you." #amwriting #publishing #querytip #askagent

Lots of deals coming in 🍾 as well as #LBF19 prep & two auctions going on at the same time. So if I look a little confused...🤪 #literaryagent #askagent

I was asked: "Do the benefits of having a literary agent translate into the self-publishing world?" I replied: "Yes, because agents represent the author, not just individual book deals." #amwriting #publishing #querytip #askagent

Best agenting quote from Season 3 #CallMyAgent so far... 🤣 "90% of what agents do is solving problems, without problems we have no job" #DixPourCent @LinaLanglee @NetflixUK #literaryagent #askagent

The Romantic Novelists' Association speaks to new agent @LinaLanglee about what she is looking for romanticnovelistsassociation.org/2018/11/ask-an… #askagent #amwriting #querytips

I am not a science fiction fan so can't answer this, sorry. #askagent

The $64,000 question! You have to maintain the pace and yet develop the characters. I think you have to read through for pace and be very conscious of what you can and can't do while keeping up suspense, conflict and action. #askagent

In the UK we have the Association of Authors' Agents (AAA) agentsassoc.co.uk and in the U.S. there is the AAR aaronline.org #askagent

The agency is known for being talent spotting, being very commercial and lots of our authors have gone on to become bestsellers. We've got a "recent bestsellers" slideshow on our website front page to show off about that! katenashlit.co.uk #askagent
