Both, though I'm not a big follower of the term contemporary fantasy lol But yes, in multiple genres, these are spreading. #AskAgent

For significant edits, we probably expect at least 2 months. Quick edits often mean it was sloppy or advice wasn't followed #AskAgent

Be sure the agent is open to seeing it again. It never hurts to email back asking if, should you revise, they'd look again #AskAgent

We try! Especially if we requested pages, the writer should get some direction if we pass #AskAgent

Personally, I don't go below 80k. World building should bulk up the text. Below 80k usually means more editing will be needed #AskAgent

Witches are on the uptick again. I think creatures, too (shifters, deff). We're reaching for the weird! #AskAgent

However, you're most likely going to need some editorial work after signing no matter what. Agents will usually see something #AskAgent

Depends how much agent loves it or how much time they can dedicate to edits. More often than not, R&R. #AskAgent

I'm also an editor at heart, so I don't let go of a book until it's sparkling. I LOVE seeing it so pretty and polished #AskAgent

The stories! I love brainstorming with writers. The "what if we did this?" and pulling a story apart and finding new views #AskAgent

Not many. Not all agents ask, either. All of my clients are writers I gave an R&R to. We give feedback more often than a full R&R #AskAgent

Also, I READ haha It's interesting to see trends in things being published now and the queries you read 6-12 months ago #AskAgent

90k is a sweet spot! I'd always shoot for 85-95k for YA Fantasy, because most try to go past this. 92k sounds perfect #AskAgent

Tough one. It varies. I try to find balance: I love story, it needs to be read, and find publisher I think can market it well #AskAgent

If generic responses, I'd wait till 10 or 12, then try to get more beta readers to help pin down what isn't working #AskAgent

That depends on the feedback you're getting. If you get solid notes from most, edit after 5 or 7? Incorporate the notes #AskAgent

#AskAgent it's a time thing more than anything. We have so many queries coming in, so I can only read things I really think might work

I see this a lot. Usually query is great and pages fall through. Sometimes I request more, but not often #AskAgent

If the story has a TON of potential and I don't see a lot of issues. Minor fixes plus one big plot edit could be a great R&R #AskAgent

#AskAgent Also on the lookout for diverse fantasy/sci fi. Craving Buffy meets Fullmetal (and i know one writer currently working on that!)
