#askTBA I got a nice pass, "aversion 2 aliens in Ya" but wished luck. Is this a thing? Mines more Indiana Jones quest w/ 1/2-alien teens.@HerringAli That sounds pretty personal/subjective to me. #askTBA

YA Fantasy REAL word count goals? Lots of variation on the Internet. #askTBA@Dani_NicoleYA Others might disagree, but my gut says 75-90k? #askTBA

#asktba How important are comps in a query?@NFortmeyer They communicate a LOT. Don't leave them out. That said, I've req'd plenty mss that didn't have comps. :) #askTBA

Tom Navratil @TomNavratilism
@FuseLiterary #AskFuse In a fiction query, do you want mention of target audiences, beyond noting comps? Or does that scream 'niche'?.@TomNavratilism If it's appropriate & shows a big audience, sure. It isn't vital, though, as you're already doing that with comps. #AskFuse

@FuseLiterary #AskFuse w.r.t. a recent twitter lament re not receiving requested material: How soon do you expect pages after a request?.@CVDalcher If you're pitching a project that isn't ready, give the agent a time frame. Otherwise we'll expect it immediately. #AskFuse

Jade Hemming 🌌 @jadewritesbooks
@FuseLiterary #AskFuse What do you look for about the author in the queries, or does the story simply come first?.@jadewritesbooks Qualifications and platform, especially if it's non-fiction. If fiction, it doesn't matter as much. #AskFuse
