Definitely room for a Duology #askagent

Ooooh I am no clairvoyant but I think escapism! Whether that is into a fantasy world or a sweeping love story #askagent

I have an author who struggles with events bc of her illness - we just have super open communication around what she can and can’t do and thus far everything has worked very smoothly #askagent

I say first 3 or approximately 50 pp #askagent

I would leave it with the agent you already sent it to - or you could email the other agent and tell them and they could ask their colleague about it #askagent

I would usually give benefit of doubt and say they are snowed under - for example I receive 150 submissions a week and probably another 100 emails a day so sometimes things go astray #askagent

Depends - I read all mine #askagent

It certainly helps but I do appreciate that some authors can’t for health or distance reasons so there are ways to work around #askagent

There’s no exact word count - I would pick the strongest chapter as your sample #askagent

Yes - an editor told me she was in an auction on Friday! #askagent

Usually it’s an introduction, target market, chapter breakdown and one sample chapter #askagent

I THINK so #askagent

I think we will see both - some people love escapism and others want more misery! #askagent

There is an appetite still but there are definitely challenges in the U.K. market in terms of being stocked widely in retailers #askagent

Yes they can #askagent

Hmmm I don’t have strong feelings on it - it usually comes down to my own response to the own MS #askagent

I am! I signed someone on Thursday #askagent

I think people always like horror because it is a safe way to scare yourself #askagent

It depends on the agent - some specialise in crime for example. I would say that I represent a few in each genre but they need to be different from each other within that genre #askagent

I think once you finish draft 3 wave it off into the world with crossed fingers! #askagent
