.@LVRANSLEY We open back up to submissions on 1/15. That's a good time :) #AskFuse

.@emshue_ak Check the agent's website. They often post that & it varies from agent to agent. We do, but some do "no response = no." #AskFuse

.@LVRANSLEY Check agent's social media to see if they're still there. If no indication, I'd send it today, no later. #AskFuse

.@DKrupla There's no limitation there. Whatever is best for your story. #AskFuse

.@GoldenSong012 There's no limit, but you make the best impression when you have a plan, rather than just a bunch of mss to submit. #AskFuse

.@ehbishop Usually only tell other agents when you have an offer. Otherwise, we don't need to hear about your other requests. #AskFuse

.@writerchelsey Boutique agencies tend to be smaller. Some say that means more attention paid per client, but that varies greatly. #AskFuse

.@ehbishop A bit, yes. Turnover in publishing is high. That's just part of the business. #AskFuse

.@JessGuernsey No. They'd give it if they had time. I wish I could provide feedback 4 every rejection, but it just isn't feasible. #AskFuse

.@ElleLewis6 It's nuanced and varies by genre, but in general, you don't want too much too early or to sacrifice tension/intrigue. #AskFuse

.@_juliedawn Excerpts help, as do exclusive discounts. Sometimes a compelling ad linking to a retailer is enough. #AskFuse

.@Coffee_Is_love Your first query paragraph should hook in a powerful and economical way. 4 sentences = likely too long. #AskFuse

.@kfockepearson First and foremost, make a plan. Build one very sturdy trunk, then branch out in a calculated manner. #AskFuse

.@DCCMealy That varies. Check the agent's stated turnaround, if any, and allow for some flexibility, especially during holidays. #AskFuse

.@MaggieAdams10 Not so much. Avoid major holidays & stated closures: ow.ly/UTxNT #AskFuse

.@SteveWestenra Depends upon the reason 4 rejection, if any. Usually not, though, so best to get it right the first time. #AskFuse

.@CarynPinetree Word count can vary, but not so much that it affects price points, reader expectation, etc. It's there 4 a reason. #AskFuse

.@Sean__McIntyre Depends upon your ms. Commercial, literary, upmarket, etc. aren't necessarily absent of genre-like elements. #AskFuse

.@spricewrites No real limit, but it's very helpful if you know what your first book needs to be. That will eliminate that issue. #AskFuse

.@Sovae Check in if the time has greatly exceeded their listed response & they don't have a "no response means no" policy. #AskFuse
