Yes, please mention this! It's important information to know. #askPSLA

That's usually assumed in certain genres! "First in a series but stands alone" is safe wording (if true). #askPSLA

(assuming you mean fiction) only if you're a celebrity #askPSLA

Ask questions during a call if an agent offers rep! Make a list of things imp to you & make sure the agent is on the same page. #askPSLA

Yup, that would be pretty hard. I'd only look at epic fantasy that length, and even then would assume we'd cut some. #askPSLA

I've honestly never asked? Once they sign with me, it's like all those rejections never happened! #askPSLA

Hmm... probably 60-80k? Really depends on the story though! #askPSLA

For that reason, it's honestly impossible to give a timeframe for submissions. #askPSLA

up to N amount of weeks for that MS to reach the top of the queue, a couple days to read it, another day or two max to decide #askPSLA

That cat!

It depends how many requested manuscripts we have sitting on our desk + the work we have to do for current clients. #askPSLA

I would expect any submission I'm reading to be completely rid of plot holes. #askPSLA

I like to think of stories as having HP/hit points. If you have enough strengths, it can take a couple small hits from weaknesses. #askPSLA

Usually just if I like it? If I remember that I'm reading words on a page instead of feeling immersed, that's never good. #askPSLA

100k would be my absolute max when requesting a YA fantasy. #askPSLA

Those are usually handled by specialized agents, either in house at a big place or through coagents. Def ask! #askPSLA

Depends? If the query is fine but not stunning, then a strong concept + character can intrigue me. If it's bad/boring then nope. #askPSLA

No, location doesn't matter. We represent clients from all around the world. #askPSLA

Put their name in the subject line! We won't miss it there :) #askPSLA

I rep all children's books. PBs shouldn't be over 1000 words. I'm more flexible with MG, but 60-70k is probably the highest. #askPSLA

A killer first line, a main character who I can already envision in my head bc of strong voice, a beginning of the plot/trouble #askPSLA
