. @mushenska alternately, can one submit a polished outline of an incomplete work-in-progress and expect representation? #askagentno, finish entire book and polish it. End informs beginning. #askagent

.@mushenska many people I know interested in writing think they can send opening chapters without completing a book; bad idea?! #askagentTERRIBLE idea. If I call in full MS and you don't have one doesn't give good impression. End informs beginning. #askagent

@mushenska Have you ever taken someone on as a client with an unfinished MS based on the strength of what you've read so far? #askagentnot for years - 1) often they never finish 2) sometimes work doesn't live up to potential. #askagent

Hi, @mushenska . Can one submit polished first chapters of a work with following chapters less polished?) Is it a no no? #askagentfinish and polish entire thing. Better to put your best foot forward! Quality often drops off after 3 chs #askagent

What is the most common plotting error you see in submissions? #AskFuse.@KernsLauri Tough to pick one, but an umbrella answer would be not starting the story in the right place. #AskFuse

#AskFuse How much rewriting does a book typically go thru before publication?.@KnightAuthor As much as needed. It varies, but one client estimated her 90k-word book had 10k words from the first rough draft. #AskFuse

@FuseLiterary #AskFuse I've seen a lot of stuff lately about checking in with an agent. Should one check in or no? What's your thoughts?.@Coffee_Is_love Check their guidelines first. Some are "no response means no," and many give expected response times. #AskFuse

It's a good sign, when I'm in the middle of reading a full ms, that I'm already starting to draft a pitch in my head. #amreading #askagent

@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
