No! avoid Harry Potter at all costs. He's not a comp, he's a life of his own. #bookendschat

if you plan for it to be a series I would mention it #bookendschat

let me add, an MFA has never been vital when taking on new clients or hiring new agents #bookendschat

it never has been for me #bookendschat

I wouldn't bother. many adults read YA #bookendschat

I like to think we're going to be in for long haul. I'd like to build a career #bookendschat

Not at all vital in my genres. #bookendschat

Future projects always—unless the author wants different. I'm here for your career & the big picture for you. #BookEndsChat

that really depends. Each genre and book is so different. #bookendschat

Depends on the book, really. A m/m erotic romance is different from a MG. #BookEndsChat

Usually future projects because we want to build a career, not just sell one book. #bookendschat

It's a tougher market. Portal fantasies are a tough sell I've seen -- make sure your book is unique! #BookEndsChat

In commercial fiction, it’s never good to tell me you’ve been working on a project for ten years. Speed matters. #BookEndsChat

Different every time. It's less about how much work needed and more about how much I connected to it. #bookendschat

I hate percentages used like that. They sound like hard & fast rules. 👎 #BookEndsChat

Avoid telling the agent how they will interpret your story in your query. Each reader will have a different experience. #querytip #askagent

The worst, most unforgivable way to open a query, however, is "Dear Sirs." #askagent

No need for a complete package, art wise, just enough to show what you're imagining and capable of. #askagent

Like with picture books you really only need a few samples, including a piece or two of finished art. #askagent

Please follow sub guidelines-I won't consider a sub in a zip file or as a password-protected file, b/c I won't open those files. #askagent
