@FuseLiterary #AskFuse Earlier you said few debuts earn out their advance, does this reduce chance of publication for next book?.@RoseAnnFoster Yes, but it depends upon how many sold vs advance, print run, etc. #AskFuse

Do your find PB agents leaning more toward repping auth/illus vs. writers only than in the past? Thank you #AskFuse.@Redsaidwhatblog Either way is fine as long as the project is solid. We're flexible like that. #AskFuse

@FuseLiterary in manuscript page length, how much does it grow after published? Or even better, what is the desired word count? #AskFuse.@KelseyCrossing That depends upon layout and packaging. It varies a LOT. Yet another reason why we always use word count. #AskFuse

@FuseLiterary When it comes to Queries, is it best to include a bio even if no publishing hisotry exists? Or should it be skipped? #AskFuse.@KelseyCrossing Absolutely. Let us know why you're the best one to write that story, even if it's your first. #AskFuse

How many payments are advances usually paid out in from your experience? Also do most authors end up earning royalties? #AskFuse.@nicolelynnhoefs You'll usually see 2-5 advance installments. Most (like 80%+) don't earn out. #AskFuse
