I want to see the key elements of the story. How the hook and the genre play out. #BookEndsChat

You can always query, but I might ask to see something new instead. #bookendschat

I think I'm starting to dislike a synopsis as much as authors #BookEndsChat

There’s too much to put in 140 characters. I want to see voice and major plot points. #bookendschat

Depends. Do you mean the same book, revised? Or a different project? #BookEndsChat

THIS. God yes, this. PLEASE do not be the person who writes a query from the character POV #BookEndsChat

It's hard w/pbs, b/c agents can get flooded with one after another (or ten at a time!) from the same author. #bookendschat

mistakes or issues in the new book before you send it to the agent! 2/2 #BookEndsChat

We know you're (hopefully) always working on something. If the agent gave feedback, make sure you don't have #BookEndsChat 1/2

Take time to absorb any criticism and apply it. In other words—don’t send something new an hour after a rejection #bookendschat

I don't like gimmicky queries (like writing from character POV). It should read like cover copy of your book. #BookEndsChat

Just some more paperwork and tax forms. But being outside the US isn't a bad thing! One of mine is an Aussie. #BookEndsChat

not as long as we can easily get your tax paperwork in order (which isn't that hard) #BookEndsChat

I think it's better to wait a bit, b/c I'm hoping to see something that shows growth from the last sub. #bookendschat

very true, sadly. #bookendschat

yes #BookEndsChat

not necessarily. Sometimes we take a long time but end up offering. #bookendschat

I think it's all been said, but yes BookEnds is one of the more hands-on agencies, I think #BookEndsChat

Not at all. Sometimes (like for me) we just get behind on reading. Try not to read into response times! #BookEndsChat

Not necessarily. It could just mean the agent had contracts and client edits they have to get to first. #bookendschat
