@JuliaChurchill Is there a good and bad time of year to submit? #askagent@mrsjoskimo The book fairs get busy, but I may still have time to read around it, and may also be v keen to find something new. #askagent

@JuliaChurchill Is there a good and bad time of year to submit? #askagent@mrsjoskimo From my point of view reading time tends to be more about my personal diary than time of year.#askagent

Gretchen @greyhatton
Agent I'm pitching to can't attend conf; will let me query instead. Should I find a new agent to pitch in person or do the query? #AskFuse.@greyhatton Take advantage of opportunities to pitch agents at conferences in case your query gets rejected. #AskFuse

@FuseLiterary also, what should you write in a cover letter to an agent? #AskFuse.@wake_girl_ That's way too big for a tweet. We wrote an entire resource on that: amazon.com/Short-Guide-Qu… #AskFuse

Christi R. Suzanne @christirsuzanne
Project 1 & 2 are interconnected. What are the chances of prjt 2 getting picked up 1st and then project 1 not seeing pub? #askfuse.@christirsuzanne Depends. If #2 is picked up first and underperforms in the market, they likely won't want #1. #AskFuse

.@KimiPieper #YAneedsmore graphic and illustrated novels, honestly. They're big in MG and adult but underserved in YA. #AskFuse

🎅🎄K. Hopkins 🎄🎅 @kehopkins13
I have 3 pubs looking at fulls of my ms, but no lit agent yet. What do I say in an agent query about ms status? #askfuse.@kehopkins13 Mention it in your query, & stop subbing to agents and publishers simultaneously. It really ties the agent's hands. #AskFuse

KFair Writes @kfairwrites
@carlywatters Why are comps vital in query? Is it for author to show she knows own material or agent's professional preference? #askanagent@kfairwrites knows where book will fit in bookstore, shows us you know your genre, so we can see vision #askagent

@carlywatters For comparable titles to your MS is it better to use a blockbuster title (like Harry Potter) or a lesser known one? #askagent@CassandraFrance if you use blockbusters then we think you mean to comp that you think you're going to hit the lottery #askagent

@carlywatters how can one stand out with a query without seeming braggy or god forbid annoying? I imagine there is a fine line #askagent@JillianAmodio nonfiction: need to toot your horn. Fiction: focus on story hook. Author bio needs to stick to relevant facts #askagent
