A killer first line, a main character who I can already envision in my head bc of strong voice, a beginning of the plot/trouble #askPSLA

Fiction or nonfic? For fiction, don't focus on building a brand, focus on building a community of peers! #askPSLA

Not really, assuming you mean fiction! Skip any marketing/publicity talk and focus on plot (unless you're BFFs with a celeb?) #askPSLA

Nope, but this is where it might be good to add a comp to underline that your tone is still firmly adult. #askPSLA

personally I only consider finished works #askPSLA

not often, bc we can all see the queries, but maybe! #askPSLA

it would be hard to pick a specific one! So much is mental, like taste, perseverance, reading the market/people, etc #askPSLA

not an auto reject, but there are probably places you can cut #askPSLA

maybe, most likely because I don't care enough yet for it to have any emotional impact #askPSLA

I have two Australian clients and one traveling the world by boat... So no :) #askPSLA

Memoir is a VERY tough sell, so probably fiction, but that doesn't necessarily mean it'll be easy either! #askPSLA

Can't give you blanket advice, sorry! All depends on what the ms needs and what you do well #askPSLA

I won't rep under 18, and it would take an amazing MS to make me consider under 20. Usually needs more practice #askPSLA

If 2 agencies, would depend on how private the agents are. Would def require full disclosure &a huge time commitment #askPSLA

not a query, bc I probably forgot it quickly. But yes on a partial, and I'm very happy for them! #askPSLA

50-70k maybe? It's pretty wide, but I would probably avoid 90+ #askPSLA

sometimes for internships they'll post on Twitter, other times it's all friend of a friend #askPSLA

not too long for me to consider, but I'll probably suggest cuts in edits #askPSLA

most major pubs will do it in house #askPSLA

it's either your query or your book is really niche market. Get your QL in front of a professional to know which! #askPSLA
