If our ms intros a culture (which we've researched extensively but are not part of), do agents expect a sensitivity reader? #askfuse.@AriadneLukas Ideally. Here's my favorite piece on the matter: midnightbreakfast.com/writing-people… #AskFuse

IYO how can a writer tell it's time to stop querying and shelve an ms? #AskFuse.@KDD_writes That's different for every writer and every ms, but when u think better opportunities lie elsewhere, u should move on. #AskFuse

@FuseLiterary submitted once to agent and turned down can you submit to another another in the same company. #literaryagents #AskFuse.@emshue_ak Usually no, but at Fuse, yes. Check the agency's guidelines to be sure. #AskFuse

#AskFuse When reading the query, do you want to see the hook in the first paragraph or reason for being contacted etc...?.@Mmvattula You can have both! Your personalized reason should always integrate something about your ms that justifies that reason. #AskFuse

When you ask for an R&R, how quickly do you want it? Is there a limit on when you say, "It's been too long, so...no." #AskFuse.@roxannelambie If your topic = trendy, maybe. Otherwise, not really, but u want to show u can work quickly. Aim for wks, not mos. #AskFuse

.@rjsomer Post-apocalyptic can be tough, but write what you want. Trends are cyclical. Thoughts, @dreamoforgonon? #AskFuse

#AskFuse If you like a ms, do you ask editors if they would be interested before reaching back out to the writer?.@Mmvattula Absolutely not. That would be unethical. #AskFuse

#AskFuse Since the sequel is a standalone would it help or hurt to mention the other one to an agent?.@stevecrosswords Always inform your prospective agent of your career plans. Otherwise they can't properly manage your career. #AskFuse

#AskFuse had a YA BOOK Published. Publishers out of business. Rights are mine. Trying to publish it and a sequel? What do I tell an agent".@stevecrosswords Tell the agent exactly that. You want someone who is informed enough to properly handle your career. #AskFuse

#askPSLA Is it okay to query multiple agents at once, or should you wait for a response before sending to another? twitter.com/MsMariaVicente…Definitely query more than one agent at a time! Otherwise you will be waiting for responses your whole life. 😂#askPSLA

#askPSLA Is there any specific skill that you find is necessary when doing your job?it would be hard to pick a specific one! So much is mental, like taste, perseverance, reading the market/people, etc #askPSLA
