@LZats how do you feel about a MS with multiple first-person narrators?I'm not against it, nor for it--it just has to be good for me to read it! #askagent

@LZats Out of your current client list, what % would you say queried you more than once before you fell in love with one of their books?only one of my authors sent me more than one book before I signed them, but many did R+Rs! #askagent

@LZats Thanks for the response. Here's another...I've heard other agents say New Adult is dead right now. Agree or dis? #askagentAgree for us. If you're self-pub, disagree! #askagent

@LZats When reviewing an MS, do you typically go solely on "I like it or I don't" or do you see potential and talk revisions? #askagentI only talk revisions if I really, really like it. R+Rs are rare, but are always rooted in love #askagent

@LZats How much romance can I put in a SF novel? My characters keep kissing, and more. Tangled web of feels and scars.lots! As long as it's still SF at its heart, not transforming into speculative romance. #askagent

@LZats Have a Bachelor's in film focused on screenwriting. Worth including in a query bio for a novel or not relevant? #askagentHonestly it's not going to make a huge difference. If you have room for it, sure! If you have better things, skip! #askagent

@LZats If someone has a light bio (no awards, no lit degree) do you still want writing resume or prefer to hear motivation for writing ms?ugh. Never motivation. A light bio isn't a bad thing! Have you been in a crit group? Conferences? Those count! #askagent

@LZats Thoughts on Patterson's Bookshots initative? #askagentI love the idea as a way to get more people to read. I hate that they can't be called novellas. #askagent

@LZats While writing an #ownvoices book, should the writer use the dialect of language from place of origin (E.g. India) or the USA English?A combo. If your readers are American, present the content in a way they can get, but also isn't stripped away #askagent
