Red Sofa Literary sends out proposals for both fiction and nonfiction with every book (after the fiction is finished, of course). #askagent

I don't want a cliffhanger. I want to see that you know how to wrap it up! :) #askagent

It's a tough one right now. Can't emphasize enough: get to the good stuff early. Saggy middles kill horror. #askagent

Personal #1 sale: Expensive handbag.
My first sale as an agent: Dinner & a new book. Occupational hazard #askagent

My top three:
1. Under 250 words. Write tight!
2. Have we met before? Where?
3. Includes genre & word count right out of the gate. #askagent
