If an agent at PSLA decides to pass on a query, are you open to submit to another agent? #askPSLAA pass is generally a pass from the agency. Possible exception: someone adds a new wish list item that fits your work. #askPSLA

In a query: should I mention that I am a successful freelancer but have no published fiction? #askpslaSure! Nothing wrong with highlighting your experience. #askPSLA

As a new writer, how do know when I'm actually ready to query as opposed to wishfully ready? #askPSLAYou can't think of more to revise in your manuscript. You're ready to think about the business side of writing. #askPSLA

Do most literary agents (at least you guys) ACTUALLY read through each query submitted? Or at least glance at them? :) #askPSLAWe definitely, 100%, absolutely review every query letter sent to us at @PSLiterary. #askPSLA

@literaticat #AskAgent Is it advantageous for a writer to showcase range with (polished) multi-genre releases, or focus on one genre/series?there are different schools of thought. I'm not sure either approach is "better" - depends on the author! #askagent

@literaticat Oooh, I have one! In YA fantasy, will having more than one third person PoV character make it a tougher sell? #AskAgentI am not sure that would stop somebody from loving an excellent book. #askagent

@Everywoman98 early readers are tough / they are often established characters or generated in-house. #askagentCB some people don't differentiate - I'd query agents who like MG, unless they say specifically "no chapter books" #askagent
