@HallockMarie I usually ask what they have planned to make sure we envision the same career path. #asknewagent

@nicolelynnhoefs sure, that's helpful to know. #asknewagent

@AshInOurMinds stop reading when I lose interest #asknewagent

@nicolelynnhoefs I think so, but don't say diverse, say how it is. #asknewagent

@nicolelynnhoefs I say yes. Many agents want to prioritize stories from underrepresented characters. #asknewagent

@Prisim98 not instantly. I'll dip into the writing first. #asknewagent

@NaughtyBrent @MitchSully I agree! I usually tell the writer to email me if they have any questions. This counts #asknewagent

@Lochlan_S Have someone who has not read your manuscript read the query and make sure it makes sense. #asknewagent

@Almost_Anna @JacyMerrill I think time travel is different #asknewagent

@LeftNWriteBrain The writer and I always agree on an end date during the call. Usually a week, sometimes two if circumstances. #asknewagent

@MitchSully @caitief @HallockMarie I say yes. #asknewagent

@adanawashington I think so, yes, because agents are making it a priority to find and nurture these protagonists. #asknewagent

@LeftNWriteBrain @caitief I don't like my offers to sit for more than a week. But I'm pretty tenacious, so they rarely do. ;) #asknewagent

@lifewithBarns also lookfor agents who do a range of all children's books and what they have sold @NaughtyBrent #asknewagent

@DanaProvo I tend to hate them. A lot. #asknewagent

@nicolelynnhoefs I wouldn't say it's a hard number. If you're not getting the results you wanted, revise. #asknewagent

@JacyMerrill from the mouths of editors: it's a hard sale #asknewagent

@DanaProvo I've never received one of these and liked it #asknewagent

@HallockMarie Everything - watching them grow as writers and doing my part to make their dreams a reality. #asknewagent

@sarahelizwriter NA is really tough-I'm not sure what the state of NA is right now, since I've never been interested in it. #asknewagent
