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

#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

#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

#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

@MsMariaVicente This is great to know! What would you consider a conflict of interest? Both repping same/similar genres/categories? #askPSLACould be. Will depend on the companies. Best off interning in different roles. #askPSLA
