SubRts are all the ancillary rights beyond the initial deal: foreign, film, audio, commercial, etc. #AskKTLit

Both! Either! Super helpful, right? #AskKTLit

We are definitely looking for nonfiction, as per this post: ktliterary.com/2016/08/were-l… #AskKTLit Voice is a big deciding factor in a NH query.

Also we talk a lot about queries on our weekly About My Query blog posts. We go into lots of detail there! ktliterary.com/category/ask-d… #AskKTLit

I think it's personal taste. I prefer pitch first because for me, the work and writing come before all else. Not a deal-breaker. #AskKTLit

I recommend it. It shows that you're engaging with agents online and that you know where your book fits in the market! #AskKTLit

You've got to query on one book at a time, but ideally, you're querying agents who rep all the genres you write. #AskKTLit

I'm always looking for (YA & MG) SFF, Thriller, Magical Realism, and Historical. Diverse casts and unreliable narrators a win! #AskKTLit

Nope, those are usually the "Dear Agent" queries. That's often how you can tell. #AskKTLit

Exciting fantasy like TRAIL OF LIGHTNING by @RoanhorseBex (sale just announced today) ktliterary.com/2016/09/sold-c… #AskKTLit

Paranormal or fantasy romance like DESTINED FOR A KING by @ashlyn_mac #AskKTLit

Mine's a diverse, ideally #OwnVoices YA fantasy or speculative fiction. #AskKTLit

I think that's just adult commercial or literary fiction. #AskKTLit

I'm looking for superior writing + great story. To, "what do you think of X?" = I will always say, "sure! if writing is superior!" #AskKTLit

Wrong genre! ;)
#AskKTLit

For me, it's being cc'ed on the same query to multiple agents. Every other query I answer, those get trashed unread. #AskKTLit

There are a few big "no's": Rhetorical questions. CC or BCC. 1st person from your MC. Ignoring submission instructions. #AskKTLit

Relevant pub credentials are always welcome! Particularly if you went through an editorial process. #AskKTLit

"head-hopping" is a comment on craft rather than genre. Multiple POVs is 100% ok (and normal!) and should be expertly written. #AskKTLit

You can! We don't usually compare notes at the query stage, although we do discuss manuscripts under submission. #AskKTLit
