@mushenska Is swearing (within reason) a big problem? Some people seem to find bad language more taboo than sex and violence. #askagent@VampiricChicken no, I only find it annoying when done for effect #askagent

@forky68 no, I'd suggest you shortlist your top 5 and try them first, but not unusual to have several rejections before finding 1 #askagent

@forky68 write a really good ms & submit to 10-20 agents who represent the genre you write #askagent

@GKellyFiction so if the crime is the focus I'd concentrate on submitting that. But later down the line easier to move #askagent

@GKellyFiction complicated - easier to establish you in one genre before moving to something completely different #askagent
