#bookendschat Is it true that a long wait after submitting a full MS to an agent usually means a long goodbye is in the offing?Not at all. Sometimes (like for me) we just get behind on reading. Try not to read into response times! #BookEndsChat

#bookendschat Is it true that a long wait after submitting a full MS to an agent usually means a long goodbye is in the offing?Not necessarily. It could just mean the agent had contracts and client edits they have to get to first. #bookendschat

#bookendschat Is it true that a long wait after submitting a full MS to an agent usually means a long goodbye is in the offing?Not at all. I just had a client tweet that she waited 10 months for me to get to her book. I offered. #BookEndsChat

#BookEndsChat How exciting do you want a query to be? Is there a level where it's misrepresenting the novel itself?I want a query to accurately reflect the book. There needs to be something to catch my interest. #bookendschat

#BookEndsChat How exciting do you want a query to be? Is there a level where it's misrepresenting the novel itself?The biggest thing, for me, is seeing voice in a query. That alone can get me excited! #BookEndsChat

What are your thoughts on authors posting on Wattpad? Yay or nay? #bookendschatIf the whole work has already been avail on Wattpad, I think it can make it a tougher sell. 1/2 #BookEndsChat

How involved is BookEnds on the editorial/career side of things? #BookEndsChatVery! Several of us are former editors. We all edit a lot. And it’s always about a career, not just one book. #bookendschat

If I am a diverse author but my book is not about diverse characters, is that something you want to know in my query?#bookendschatwhat that might happen is editors/agents will ask why you aren't then writing diverse characters #BookEndsChat

@emanuellamoon Personally, if I was hoping to shop that project to an agent, I probably wouldn't post it on Wattpad. But.. #bookendschatI don't think that building an online following for your writing is a bad thing. #bookendschat

Thanks for taking the time to do this! How do ya'll feel about single POV romance and erotica? #BookEndsChatThat said? I definitely prefer 3rd person POV with two narrators for romance/erotica. #BookEndsChat

How important is a writer's social media/online presence to you when you're considering taking on a client? #bookendschatIt's nice seeing if you have one? But for fiction it's not a requirement ahead of time. #BookEndsChat

Thanks for taking the time to do this! How do ya'll feel about single POV romance and erotica? #BookEndsChatI tend to prefer both POVs. I think single cold be a bit of a tougher sell, though not impossible. #BookEndsChat
