I get 100-150 a month, I think. #BookEndsChat

We just did a blog on this. We all get about 200 (give or take 100) each #bookendschat

I always ask to see more, though if the author hasn't written anything else yet, that's okay too. #bookendschat

And if not that book on the shelf, then working with the author on the next! #bookendschat

I love finding those books that I feel *have* to be on the shelves, and then working w/au to get them there #bookendschat

I also love calling authors (clients and potential clients alike) with great news! #BookEndsChat

Definitely "The Call" when have an offer of pub. But also being 1 of lucky first readers of a fantastic book. #BookEndsChat

a literary badass #BookEndsChat

The excitement of helping someone sell their first book. It never gets old. #bookendschat

hmmmm and being a general badass ;) #bookEndschat

Working on client books & seeing them grow before taking them out. (I'm still new enough to love slush, too…) #BookEndsChat

or maybe negotiating. I LOVE negotiating #BookEndsChat

It definitely varies. I would say about half of the clients I've taken on this year are debut writers. #BookEndsChat

brainstorming and creating with the author. I love when we have an aha moment #BookEndsChat

also we're seeing fewer debuts since more authors are self-publishing #BookEndsChat

I am. somewhat reluctantly, but I am. #BookEndsChat I think I'd prefer something new if given a choice.

We don't focus on debut v. previously pubbed. Sometimes a track record can make it harder. We focus on a great book #BookEndsChat

I think 5-10 might be a fair guess #BookEndsChat

It really varies. I don’t know the answer to that. I think I personally took on 2 debuts this year (and sold both). #bookendschat

I would be, yes. But it needs to be substantial revisions. And only if I saw the MS. Not a revised query! #BookEndsChat
