Rafi Omar @RafiOmar83
@literaticat Thoughts on the market for short stories? Most agents don't want to even take a look. #askagent@RafiOmar83 not great. The biggest place for short stories is in magazines and anthologies, out of the purview of many agents. #askagent

@SeeSaraScribe I think it's fine if it is really a *significant* revision / gut overhaul AND it's been several months at least. #askagent

@literaticat #AskAgent I see a lot of "I rep PB and MG" CB are not MG I don't want 2 waste agents time if they don't rep CB. Why no CB love?@June_Smalls Chapter Books are just a much smaller market. The good news is: most agents who rep MG will also look at CB. #AskAgent
