I know genres come and go, but are there any in particular that you're sick of? (At the moment) #askPSLANope! I'm looking for books in all genres for Middle Grade and Young Adult. I love variety. #askPSLA

#askPSLA sorry to be a Hermione here BUT. Does rejection-bc-too-similar-to-client apply to just an agent's roster or whole agency's roster?That's a tough one! Sounds like a personal reason for rejecting, so probably that specific agent's roster. #askPSLA

I'm eighteen and I'm just starting to query but I don't have a lot to write in my Bio. Would an agent dismiss me because of that? #askPSLANope! Most agents will happily represent new writers. We love launching careers. #askPSLA

What is the best way/ how do you nudge an agent once you've sent a query but haven't had a response? #askPSLAMost agencies will have response times on website. Some (like us) don't respond unless they want to see more material. #askPSLA

How many email subscribers for an Author's Platform makes you think "Wow, this writer is kicking ass, I'll sign them?" #askPSLAI wouldn't sign an author on platform alone. The writing needs to be kick-ass first! #askPSLA

#askPSLA MS where mom/daughter are separated & both think other is dead. Is it ok if query sticks to MC POV or do I need to say mom's alive?I think you could do this either way. Stick with whatever makes the pitch sound the most intriguing! ;) #askPSLA

Anything trends or common things you're seeing over and over again in your slush pile right now? #askpslaMG fantasy w/ portal to another world (not right for me right now). All I can think of! Queries have been diverse. #askPSLA

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
