@UweStenderPhD I have heard you should talk to an agent's clients before signing. How do you get in touch with them? Does the agent provide contact info?Yes, they would. BUT, you can contact them via Twitter or their websites. #askagent

@UweStenderPhD What would it take for the average agent to rep a MG Fantasy right now?MG is hot.Fantasy is hot.So, it would take YOU to write a GREAT book, and send it to ME, and if it is truly GREAT, I should rep it.#askagent

@UweStenderPhD 2/2 And also what is your opinion on YA books with short narrative poems at the start of each chapter?If well done, and relevant to the chapter it is perfect. If not, I would cringe. #askagent

@UweStenderPhD What are your thoughts on a writer using Patreon to build an audience and career writing. And pitching that content to agents too?I know little about Patreon. And what I know does not make me conclude it is useful to me in any way. #askagent

😊What are you looking for in query to make that story worth your time? Is it just a good pitch, or is there something deeper? #askagentOur agency asks for a sample as part of the query. That's the key piece for me & decides if I'm going to ask for more. #askagent

@MizGolightly I don't like it when writers diss other genres, like they say "this isn't a bodice ripper" or "this doesn't have vampires in it" #askagentHaha! Yes this! I also really don't like queries from the book's characters. It's weird. #askagent

@r_miotto_e Neither! A rejection = I'm not the right agent for you. No reply can mean a rejection or could mean I never got it. Or...Sometimes it means I've put it aside for further consideration #askagent

@UweStenderPhD If sample pages are strong, how much does a weak query influence an agent to request more? #askagentIt IS all about the writing. Weak query, great sample.... YOU will win. #askagent 😎

@UweStenderPhD If an agent declined my query w pages but I've done extensive revisions and it's a year later, okay to re-query them or not?Can't speak for others, but it would be OK for me. #askagent

@UweStenderPhD I'm noticing more books in first person POV. Is it a trend? I often want to know about the inner thoughts of other characters too.Depends on the book and how skillfully you use either #askagent
