@UweStenderPhD Any advice for a writer who keeps being rejected? #askagentDon't give up. I was rejected so many times, any normal person would have quit. But look at me now. So believe in yourself. #askagent

@UweStenderPhD What makes you say yes to an author? What are you looking for in books now? #askagentThe writing. That is the answer to both questions. In non-fiction, the platform is also important. And I don't work with Jerks. #askagent

@UweStenderPhD Is it best to go with agents who have specific tastes (only adult or only YA) or those whose tastes are broad? Why? #askagentIt is best to go with an agent who is best for YOUR career. YOU need to look out for YOU. #askagent

@UweStenderPhD what would make you ask for an R&R vs. reject? #askagentThe voice. You can fix plot, but you can't fix voice. #askagent

@kurestinarmada what makes you decide between rejecting a submission and offering a Revise/Resubmit #askPSLAUsually the power of the writing. I can't edit voice/writing the way I can edit plot, so it'll tip the scales if good enough. #askPSLA

Where in a query should a writer mention they had an agent, but agent left the industry? Bio? First thing? Also name the agent? #askPSLAI'd put pub history at the end. Naming the agent is up to you, but expect an interested agent to ask for details eventually. #askPSLA
