If your client has multiple manuscripts when you sign them, do you always try to publish the one they queried you with first? #asknewagent@nicolelynnhoefs For me, yes. That is what I fell in love with an dsaw the market for. #asknewagent

#asknewagent If you are being mentored closely by an established author, should you mention it? Or is that an annoying name drop?@dalessandro512 Most of the time, I find it an annoying name drop. And i have had people lie about that one before... #asknewagent

@caitief you mention you're seeking YA SF. Anything specific in those categories catch your attention? #asknewagent@missyfeller I would love space operas. Big sweeping stories with high stakes. Lots of death. #asknewagent

#asknewagent If you are being mentored closely by an established author, should you mention it? Or is that an annoying name drop?@dalessandro512 if it had relevance — i.e., the agent is a fan of that writer. #asknewagent

Do the majority of your clients stick with one publisher, or is it common to jump around to different ones depending on the ms? #asknewagent@nicolelynnhoefs this depends on many factors, and the answer's too complicated for a tweet. #asknewagent

If adults are reading a lot of YA I would think a 1990s setting would work for crossover appeal. Your thoughts? Thanks! #asknewagent@Jamie_Beth_S something like PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER? Sure. #asknewagent

How fast do you expect your clients to turn around new projects? 1 book a year, 1 book every other year, no expectation? #asknewagent@nicolelynnhoefs something different works for everyone. I have clients who do a book a year, a book every 8 years! #asknewagent
