@kaitylynne13 What's one thing you can't wait to see in your inbox? #AskAgentooo, I'm in a weird creature mermaid mood right now. Like, mermaids as baddies or monsters, not ethereal or disney #AskAgent

@UweStenderPhD best advice for tackling an R&R? 😬 #askagentTake your time. Don't rush it. Incorporate suggested changes if they made sense. #askagent

@UweStenderPhD Encountered this with a beta reader today- is it protestor or protester? Internet shows both usages. Both correct? #askagentProtester is the preferred spelling. Protestor is not incorrect, but hurts my eyes. So er wins. #askagent

@laurenspieller How do you feel about writers that have self-published in the past? (assuming the writing isn't horrible) #askagentIt depends on the sales record, genre, etc., but it's not a deal breaker. Just can make things harder. #askagent

@laurenspieller How do you balance market trends vs. finding a story you know just needs to be read? #askagentGreat question. Ultimately I have to sell books to make a living BUT if I love something that's off-market, I may take a chance #askagent

@UweStenderPhD Thanks, didn't know if there were any that were notoriously better than others! Figured an agent would know! 😉I pretty much liked all I ever attended. They all have eager writers who care about their craft. #askagent

@UweStenderPhD I write short stories too, something to mention to prospective agents? I assumed agents only concern themselves with books. #askagentI can't speak for others, but I am not interested in short stories. So you can mention it, but it doesn't help with me. #askagent

@UweStenderPhD That makes perfect sense but is not necessarily easy to accomplish. Thanks so much for taking questions!Writing is difficult.Writing authentically is even more difficult.But anything worthwhile takes hard work and sacrifice. Ask away #askagent

One last question, @normajeanesays! What do you wish you could have known about publishing before you got into it? #lxpchat @LatinxinPubNancy! 😍 I wish I could have known how accessible the book world can be online. That would have been a huge asset back in the day 😅 #LxPChat
