@MsMariaVicente thanks so much! Would you recommend having a website established even before querying starts or is it not necessary?@HallockMarie It doesn't hurt, but you're better off focusing your time on writing a great book than anything else! #askagent

@thedavisgirl I didn't read many chapter books as a kid. My reading level was quite high, so I jumped from picture books to MG. #askagent

@gabeposey One genre helps define your style; cross-genre could make you stand out (if done well and differently). #askagent

@gabeposey Neither is easy! But if you're going to break the rules then know the rules you're breaking first. #askagent

@MsMariaVicente when should a writer build a website for themselves? Like at what stage in their career development? #askagent.@HallockMarie When sharing writing with an audience. Whether that's self-publishing or querying. It's like a business card. #askagent

@gabeposey Could mean magical realism. Could be referring to fables. Depends on context. Don't see it much tbh. #askagent

@JuliaChurchill #askagent if a PB MS gets a quick rejection does that mean 'quick, send me another, I might like the next one.'@turtlemouth13 It's more about the content of the communication, than the speed. #askagent
