If I am a diverse author but my book is not about diverse characters, is that something you want to know in my query?#bookendschatI don't feel like it's something that needs to be mentioned, honestly. #BookEndsChat

@AgentJessicaA What happens *after* an agent offers rep & you accept? Rounds of revisions/submissions/auctions? If the book doesn't sell?Pretty much all of that. An auction is always the hope. If it doesn’t sell, we work on the next project. #bookendschat

How important is a writer's social media/online presence to you when you're considering taking on a client? #bookendschatHuge with nonfiction, I don't worry about it as much with fiction. You should just have something or plan to #BookEndschat

How important is a writer's social media/online presence to you when you're considering taking on a client? #bookendschatOnline presence is a plus but not a requirement. A negative online presence will deter me from offering. #BookEndsChat

Thanks for taking the time to do this! How do ya'll feel about single POV romance and erotica? #BookEndsChatI don't mind single POV romance/erotica. But I find first person POV is not my cuppa. #BookEndsChat

Thanks for taking the time to do this! How do ya'll feel about single POV romance and erotica? #BookEndsChatI think it can be harder to pull off in romance, but can work in erotica. Though, I like having both POVs. #bookendschat

For those of you representing picture book author/illustrators (@TracyMarchini?) what do you like to see in a manuscript? #BookEndsChatThat's what I like to see - au/ill who uses both mediums to their advantage in a way you couldn't do alone. #bookendschat

Someone asked in the #BookEndsChat what the worst part of the job is and I didn’t have a good answer. But today I know. Eye strain.
