@JuliaChurchill #askagentIs there an age at which an agent might think 'that writer's too old to represent'?
(asking for a friend)
My oldest client was in her 80's and she did well! #askagent If it works, it works.

@JuliaChurchill Is there an average amount of rejections a writer will get before one wants more material? When should a writer stop trying with that ms?It so depends on the book. Send out when you're sure you've done all you can, and stop trying if you've shared with everyone. #askagent

@JuliaChurchill I'm not yet published, but wonder if it can be harder to sell your third/fourth books if the first one or two don't become bestsellers?Most books don't become bestsellers, and a lot of authors who never make it to the lists have great careers. #askagent

I don't think there is for me... But there may be challenges to discuss (which can be true of any age) #askagent

I want to be an author but want to get an internship in a literary agency to see what it's like. Is it a conflict of interest? #askagentI think it maybe depends on how it's approached: Time-Traveler's Wife or I invented a time machine... #askagent

@JuliaChurchill #askagent Do PB rhymers ever get converted into prose prior to translation to another language?Sometimes the translations of a rhyming text are in prose. #askagent

@JuliaChurchill #askagent If you have been represented in the past, would you mention it in your cover letter when seeking a new agent? Or should you wait?It doesn't put me off, but it's something I'd be keen to know. #askagent

@JuliaChurchill Hi! I have half written and illustrated a picture book that is in rhyme. I understand rhyme can put off publishers, what are your thoughts?Publishers love playful, clever, child-friendly rhymes and are always looking for new writers who can write them. #askagent

Before sending your ms, make sure it’s not the "track changes" version w/comments, which make it difficult to engage in the story. #querytipWhen I'm trying to read a submission w/tracked changes and the author's comments/notes. #askagent

@UweStenderPhD Are there circumstances in which an agent consider representing a book that has been previously self-published?There are, but personally, I am more hesitant. If the self pubbed book did well, I would be interested in the second book. #askagent

@UweStenderPhD with clients, do you offer guidance/direction for future projects? Help them brainstorm as they develop new ideas? #askagentDefinitely. To a degree it depends on what the clients want/prefer. But yes, definitely. #askagent

@UweStenderPhD What do you think helps a pubbed book reach the most people?The publishing house? Advertising?Striking right chord? #askagentIf I knew that, I'd sell the secret for 10 billion dollars. I would say : great word of mouth. #askagent
