@kfairwrites @jasonflum you can say the agent's name if you want to, but it doesn't influence my opinion #askagent

@kfairwrites @jasonflum It doesn't matter to me if he was repped, all I care is whether the current book was shown to editors #askagent

Stakes? Like competition, etc.? #askagent@megriffith14 stakes = what does the character have to lose if they don't achieve their goal & how does that influence climax? #askagent

If you’re querying a children’s book but are working on (and primarily write) YA, should you mention the latter in query letter? #askagent@cameronwalker27 yes, and query agents that do both. but why not query for your YA if that's your primary #askagent

If I’m a big fan of an author’s work, follow her blog, etc., what’s the most appropriate way to ask for a referral to her agent? #askagent@EveMessenger referral means that writer is putting themselves on the line saying they vouch for you #askagent

What would a newer writer need to include in a book query to peek an agent's interest? (MFA/published in local mags) #askagent@megriffith14 in author bio you can add MFA or publications, but it all depends on how we connect with the story you're pitching #askagent

#askagent Should I include in my query the fact that I recently left my previous agent on amicable terms? How do I include that info?@jasonflum It's best to put it in the author bio at the end. When it's up at the top it can be show-offy. Keyword amicable. #askagent
