If I am a diverse author but my book is not about diverse characters, is that something you want to know in my query?#bookendschatI don't feel like it's something that needs to be mentioned, honestly. #BookEndsChat

@AgentJessicaA What happens *after* an agent offers rep & you accept? Rounds of revisions/submissions/auctions? If the book doesn't sell?Pretty much all of that. An auction is always the hope. If it doesn’t sell, we work on the next project. #bookendschat

How important is a writer's social media/online presence to you when you're considering taking on a client? #bookendschatHuge with nonfiction, I don't worry about it as much with fiction. You should just have something or plan to #BookEndschat

Thanks for taking the time to do this! How do ya'll feel about single POV romance and erotica? #BookEndsChatI don't mind single POV romance/erotica. But I find first person POV is not my cuppa. #BookEndsChat

For those of you representing picture book author/illustrators (@TracyMarchini?) what do you like to see in a manuscript? #BookEndsChatThat's what I like to see - au/ill who uses both mediums to their advantage in a way you couldn't do alone. #bookendschat

When planning a trilogy is it best to query the first book & just mention there are more 2 come or wait until all 3 are complete? #AskKTLitI always suggest the "stand alone with series potential" line in the query. 1 completed, the rest outlined is great. #AskKTLit

I've seen writers who have more than one agent. How does that work out? #askktlitThey may have had diff agents at diff times, or diff agents for film and book, but multiple agents concurrently for books is rare. #AskKTLit

For non-fic/self help, how big should the author platform be before agents consider representation? Is it a factor? What priority? #AskKTLitIt's huge. Possibly even bigger than writing. #AskKTLit

Any advice for an aspiring author under the age of 18 looking to get an agent? #AskKTLitKnow, however, that's there no curve for age. Your manuscript needs to be as good as adult writers' work to be published. #AskKTLit

@DaphneUn Even academic science journals? I assumed that since they're not literary I should skip them?I always recommend including *relevant* credentials. If your ms has a scientific basis, go for it. #AskKTLit
