@literaticat For a more #AskAgent style question: How would you recommend differentiating between younger and older middle grade? 1/2how old is your intended audience? 7-8-9? Lotta white space on the page, still has illustrations? Lower MG. #askagent

@literaticat I write non-fiction trade, but in Canada, where agenting is rarer. Just curious mainly. #AskAgentyes, for sure some agents do rep nonfiction trade! #askagent

@literaticat #AskAgent What are a few elements agents would look for in a successful romance series? (Thanks for this, btw)I only rep kids and YA - no idea. Sorry! (I do READ romance, but don't rep it) #askagent

@literaticat If you query an agent with a manuscript too early & are rejected, then years later you revise it, is it okay to send it again?if it has been, say, a year, and you have SUBSTANTIALLY REVISED, sure it is ok. #askagent

@CEamer do you mean like textbooks/educational market? Or nonfiction trade like the "scientists in the field" series? #askagentif the former, no, if the latter, certainly. #askagent

@literaticat Is there any benefit to having an agent for kids' science books? Or, do any agents handle them? #AskAgentdo you mean like textbooks/educational market? Or nonfiction trade like the "scientists in the field" series? #askagent

@literaticat how many drafts/rewrites does it typically take to have a manuscript good enough to send to query? #AskAgent?this sounds like a question for a WRITER! I'm not sure what people do before they query! 😉 #askagent

@JuliaChurchill @storytellersinc #askagent Do agents prefer to represent a client through whole career or on a book by book basis?I would hope the whole career. That's what we're there for, the long term plan. #askagent

@JuliaChurchill seems sensible. But... if no feedback and no interest, might that not suggest there's no hope, help or no help?Hope for what? Improving? Always hope there. No one picks up a violin & goes straight to the London Philharmonic. #askagent
