@ninjahuggie Make sure it's a very massive re-write and politely ask if you can. Just don't assume! #BookEndsChat

@ninjahuggie It doesn’t hurt to ask, but your voice is probably something that wouldn’t change in a rewrite. #BookEndsChat

@ninjahuggie I say "why not" life is too short not to take risks. The worst that could happen is they'll reject again. #BookEndsChat

@suedunn103 @Campbele_E Yes, but no matter what you have a better shot when your pitch shows that you know your audience. #BookEndsChat

@suedunn103 not really a hook. that's a plot #BookEndsChat

@parmita_ Nope, none. I just care about the writing. As for communicating, that's what skype is for! #BookEndsChat

@suedunn103 I do like hist mysteries. It would depend on the hook for me. #BookEndsChat

@parmita_ we work with them in the same way we do any author. I don't care where you're from. I care about your writing #BookEndsChat

I'm not a fan of pitch contests @janflora #BookEndsChat

@taralovesbooks Personally I'm not looking for much contemp romance right now unless it's dark and suspenseful #BookEndsChat

@suedunn103 That sounds like a historical mystery, not sure I'd call it a cozy. #BookEndsChat

@janflora It depends on the contest. I've gotten several clients from them. But often they're overwhelming for agents! #BookEndsChat

@parmita_ I love a mention of something I've said in an interview. Just... don't sound like you have stalked us! #BookEndsChat

@parmita_ don't force it. if there is nothing more don't worry about it. #BookEndsChat

@saharishta sadly, voice isn't something that can be taught. It's something you'll have to hone. a critic group is great #BookEndsChat

@oliveijn I have a foreign client - but their book was originally written in English. #BookEndsChat

@saharishta genre readers esp expect a certain voice in the writing. YA has a specific voice. #BookEndsChat

@parmita_ If you're fan of a client, that's a nice add, particularly if you write something similar. Only if sincere, though. #BookEndsChat

@janflora Personally, I hate Twitter pitch contests—I need more than 140 characters. But ones on websites can be fun. #BookEndsChat

@saharishta I'd also recommend reading more in that genre and paying attention to the voice #BookEndsChat
