@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

Someone asked: Can you help explain the difference between YA & adult fiction w/ a teenage protag? tmblr.co/Z1DsEu1qdp1jZ #askagent

@JuliaChurchill #askagent If an agency's policy is "no from one is a no from all" is it okay to query a new agent they've added after 8 mos?@JLAustin13 I think after 8 months it's fine, especially if you've done some work on it. #askagent

@JuliaChurchill How many POVs are too many in middle grade? Thanks! #askagent@laurie_theurer No rule. As many as can be made to work, but they tend to be from one POV for a reason. #askagent

@JuliaChurchill - do you find any sub-genre under- or over represented at the moment? (E.g., dystopian, romance, etc.) #AskAgent@word_dust Everything is difficult really, and then easy for the right book even in a overpublished area. #askagent

@JuliaChurchill - do you find any sub-genre under- or over represented at the moment? (E.g., dystopian, romance, etc.) #AskAgent@word_dust When it comes to submissions, the truth is that I'm not so much looking at genre, I'm looking for specialness. #askagent

@Anna_Mazz Yes, and @mushenska is winning. #askagent

Sharon Marie Jones @sharonmariej
Written an early ch book, 5000 words.Had advice to compile a book of 3 stories, rather than 1 as difficult age to interest agents? #askagent@sharonmariej I don't know what would be best because it's contingent on the ms itself, not a general/arbitrary rule from outside. #askagent

@Anna_Mazz Just read Knitbone Pepper and that's lovely. #askagent

@JuliaChurchill Do you feel a YA historical/fantasy with characters in their 20s would fit better in NA? Are they too old for YA? #AskAgent@booksthathook Age of char is important in ascertaining core readership but it's not the only identifier. More about book itself. #askagent

Literary Agent
Marc Corrigan @MarcCorrigan
@JuliaChurchill graphic novels; book route or comic route? Suggestions on submitting to an agent as writer/illustrator? Thanks. #askagent@MarcCorrigan Not my area I'm afraid, and also likely dependent on the material as to which is best way to go. #askagent

Zuc Cotto @Craig_Gamble
@JuliaChurchill Good morning from New Zealand. Is it OK to resubmit a work in a new draft? Thanks #askagent@Craig_Gamble I'm always happy to look. No skin off my nose and it may have become brilliant. #askagent

@JuliaChurchill How likely are UK agents to look at stateside projects? #askagent@kehopkins13 Eg a high school book about baseball with a central motif around American presidents. I'd leave that to a US agent. #askagent

@JuliaChurchill How likely are UK agents to look at stateside projects? #askagent@kehopkins13 Having said that, even though I can sell into US, unlikely I'd take on a specifically US book that wouldn't travel. #askagent

Literary Agent
🎅🎄K. Hopkins 🎄🎅 @kehopkins13
@JuliaChurchill How likely are UK agents to look at stateside projects? #askagent@kehopkins13 I'll always look. I think important for author to find agent who has reach in the book's primary market. #askagent

Literary Agent
Amanda F @booksthathook
@JuliaChurchill For a writer whose WIP is still incomplete, is it ever appropriate to ask an agent for their opinion on your work? #AskAgent@booksthathook It's not that it's inappropriate, it's that the book isn't ready yet, so author isn't putting best foot forward. #askagent
