Unless it’s option material that we’re contractually obligated to only send to one editor, we send it to a bunch at the same time. #askagent

Someone open to revisions, critique and brainstorming. Someone willing to work hard on the book as well as marketing & social media. Someone who communicates & asks questions. Someone who sends presents (that one is a joke...sort of). #askagent

I think it's a good idea. You at least know the agent knows the book. #askagent

I'm still looking for domestic suspense, but am tired of the husband/wife scenario. I'd like one featuring a mother and child or a friendship. #askagent #MSWL

This is great, as long as it's accurate. I get a lot queries referencing my clients' works when it's clear they don't really know anything about the book and there's no similarity. #askagent

Does it just have to be one dream submission? I'd love a dual timeline women's fiction too, but ala Next Year in Havana featuring diverse voices. #askagent #MSWL

I can’t answer this. It really varies too much by genre and format to say. #askagent

Ohhh... I'd love commercial women's fiction with a dual timeline ala Kate Morton. Also compelling YA, WF or romance with diverse characters, that doesn't sacrifice plot for themes. #askagent

Well, my preferred editor for clients is me. I almost never refer my clients to outside editors. I think the same is true for others at BookEnds. You want your manuscript to be polished when submitting to agents, but that doesn’t necessarily require professional editing #askagent

The big thing is whether I want to see that book again and if I have ideas to make it stronger. I don’t want to encourage a writer with an R&R unless I’m truly interested. And, truthfully, I’m more likely to just offer and take a chance than give an R&R. #askagent

I agree with @BookEndsJessica. Just a sentence or two, but yes, definitely lead with it. #askagent

Good communication. A willingness to edit and listen to other people’s opinions. No tendencies toward tantrums. #askagent

I don't think it needs to be longer than a sentence or to frankly. #askagent

I like it when I get queries like that. I don’t think you need to have comps, but if your comp is one of my clients, it certainly doesn’t hurt. #askagent

The editor and author typically interact directly during edits, though the agent is there to step in if needed. #askagent

There is no reason to inform other agents of a request, I'd wait until you have an offer. Most agents will assume others are reading. #askagent

Wait till you have an offer! #askagent

You should mention it is the first in a series always! It changes how we might envision the book. #askagent

Well my recommendation would be for you to let agents know it's a major revision of a previously seen title IF they requested to read pages. If just the query was rejected, you can prob just re-query.
If any other #askagent folks want to weigh in on this that would be cool!

No, she would really be too old for YA #askagent
