B. Crain @BCrainbooks

#AskKTLit Should my query ltr focus only on my manuscript or should I also represent who I am as a writer (marketing, background, etc)? Thx

Replying to @BCrainbooks

If it's relevant to the publishing world, include it. If not, I like to find out during "the call". #AskKTLit

Can a story begin from POV that is not the MC's if MC is in the scene and it sets up the plot? #askktlit

I would try to avoid it if possible, at least in the query. Like a prologue, it can detract from an agent getting to know the MC. #AskKTLit

Question on trends from @KAdamsBooks = I see more fantasy YA now than ever (woo HOOO!) and not enough romance. #AskKTLit

@KirtidaGautam Here's a really great resource! #AskKTLit literaticat.blogspot.com/2011/05/wordco…

Genre = where would your book be shelved in bookstore? Shelved in SF/F then = speculative fiction. Shelved in romance = romance. #AskKTLit

· 26 Sep 2016

But, my typical answer is: 90k-100k is usually great for YA Fantasy. #AskKTLit

.@literaticat has a SUPER helpful post about word count for Kid Lit. I still reffer to it. literaticat.blogspot.com/2011/05/wordco… #AskKTLit

Question #1= "How/if to include a story’s inspiration in a query." Personally = I don't need it at all. Just focus on the pitch. #AskKTLit

Cassie Miller🌨 @Cmiller61408

If one agent turns it down, is it bad form to query another agent in that same agency if he/she is looking for what you have? #AskFuse

Replying to @Cmiller61408

.@Cmiller61408 Usually yes, but we don't have that restriction, for example. Check the agency's guidelines to make sure. #AskFuse

Tracy Renee Wolfe @trm5507

#askfuse Do agents reconsider when authors re-query after making changes? Or do most agents ignore subsequent queries from those rejected?

Replying to @trm5507

.@trm5507 You usually get one chance unless the agent invited you to resubmit, so only sub when you know it's ready. #AskFuse

Robin Melay Pizzo @Everywoman98

Once you have an offer for your book can you approach an agent you'd like to be repp'd by and what r the odds of a yes #AskFuse

Replying to @Everywoman98

.@Everywoman98 You can, but it depends upon the offer. I highly recommend letting an agent pitch your book instead. #AskFuse

☃️ Dawn Husted 💙 @TheDawnHusted

Are CPs and Beta readers good enough for MS revisions/crtqs? Or should one hire an editor prior to querying? #AskFuse

Replying to @TheDawnHusted

.@TheDawnHusted That all depends upon the CP/beta(s). Often times yes, but it's case by case. More eyes are usually better. #AskFuse

Is it okay to query multiple agents at once? Definitely! #askagent

J.L. Tomlinson @JL_Tomlinson

If you are ready to query a new MS, should you withdraw a previous MS that is still under consideration by agents or include them? #askDVpit

Replying to @JL_Tomlinson

Withdraw the previous one if you no longer want it to be considered! #askDVpit

Joana 🤘🏻 @metalAndTheGeek

My word count is at 60,000 for a contemporary romance is that too low? #askDVpit

Replying to @metalAndTheGeek

That might be too short for some print lines and perfect for others. It would be fine for digital. #askDVpit
