I don't hate prologues. I do find many of them unnecessary, though. Yours might need that prologue, but when deciding, ask yourself if without it, the story is affected? #AskGZLA

Ah - that all depends - most of the time they end up in the cutting room floor. Really think hard about whether or not you need that prologue (or is it just how you always hear it so it's hard to give up?). #AskGZLA

not necessarily. voice can be subjective and sometimes more about THE WAY you are telling the story and whether they are into that. and sometimes it's just a gut thing. or something altogether. i think it means different things to different agents. #askGZLA

As long as you've read well in that category (and either know what you're doing or are willing to learn!), then go for it! #AskGZLA

I recommend querying your strongest piece! You can then mention at the end that you also write the other category, so if the time comes for "the call," you can discuss your career goals. It's always a good idea, though, to see how you might want to launch yourself. #AskGZLA

if it's another agent at GZLA yes! we wouldn't want to miss out. however, i don't typically share with agents outside my agency #askGZLA

i think most people will say no more than 100k, but i think you can get between 80-130k. it's good to have a range to aim for, but the most important thing is how much you need in order to tell your story well and effectively. #askGZLA
