Don't send it to them, but maybe try someone else at the agency (or wait or they are reopening soon!) #askagent

(at TBA, you *can* submit same ms. to another agent -- check each agency's submission guidelines!) #askagent

Sure! Time Traveler's Wife, Lovely Bones... #askagent

you should try someone else at their agency #askagent

If you've been in touch with them before, you could email & ask if they know when they'll be opening to subs, or whether (more) #askagent

I'd wait til you get responses to first before you start queries for a new project. #askagent

No, still going strong #askagent

Yes, just don't submit same manuscript to someone else at the agency #askagent

It's definitely fine at the Bent Agency; can't speak for others... #askagent

I think market is strong, though of course writing has to be as good as the concept #askagent

In my experience: YA sf can be a hard sell to editors, f/f love story or not. #askagent

Not at all. I blogged in response times here denpatrick.com/2014/02/respon… #askagent

It only means the agent is behind on answering queries/fulls and/or hasn't read it yet. Try not to read into it. #askagent

Yep, if you have that kind of experience it is worth mentioning #askagent

I don't think it can hurt. Good to know you're no stranger to editing, deadlines, etc. #askagent

Unlikely, I'm afraid. Finishing a novel is harder than it looks, and I need to know they can do it. #askagent

If they explicitly ask for a revise & resubmit, resubmit. If they don't explicitly ask then try others #askagent

In the letter - concept! But writing also has to match the concept of course #askagent

There isn't a magic formula to reply times. Sometimes no news is 'agent has been too busy and hasn't even read it yet.' #askagent

All depends on the writing! But I don't think it's a crowded market right now, it is a good genre #askagent
