If you don't have offers after 6 months, it may be time to consider a deeper edit. After a year, I think you might consider moving to a new ms. Unless you see a specific MSWL, though, for your story. It's hard because depends how many passes you receive in that time #askagent

This is hard, because as a writer, you often are sold on a platform. Your YA readers may not be open to following you to an Adult platform, so your series might suffer (targeting a completely different audience). Most editors want you to stick to one age first #askagent

My personal fave is seeing something like, "I've written several articles for JOURNAL/MAGAZINE and my novel TITLE was published through HOUSE in YEAR." I've seen a lot of ways but always include the title, at the least. #askagent

An editor is a great avenue to really help fine tune the query, but don't forget you can turn to beta readers and whatnot to get some clarity before paying someone. If you really dislike writing queries, I would recommend an editor. #askagent

Do I need a full manuscript before I can query? #askagent #amquerying tracymarchini.com/2018/09/20/nee…

Synopsis Length--What Exactly Do Agents Expect #askagent bookendsliterary.com/2018/09/20/wha…

Think of it as back cover copy. How much does cover copy give away? Usually enough to hook the reader. #askagent.

I just think it is so tough to do different distinct POVs. Two is great, three is possible...beyond that: "eek, try another agent."

If the manuscript is not right for me, then I would not want to work with you until you write a manuscript that is right for me. Two exceptions: Rihanna and Simone Missick.

Oh wow. I personally would prefer a concise query, but admittedly, I would likely not request it either way, because the odds of pulling off a 6 POV distinctly are lowish. But you might of course have done it perfectly, thus query other agents who don't have this reservation.

"As a concept this shows lots of promise but what is missing is the emotional aspect of the plot." I did the pitch surgery in this month's Mslexia magazine. Read my advice on this pitch for a Romantic Comedy novel #askagent #querytip #publishing #romcom

Best to tell us the primary plot of the first book! With statements like "This is the first in a planned series following the ongoing conflict between..." #askagent

Sure. I think so. #askagent

A month is probably too soon. At BookEnds our guidelines state we take 8-12 weeks to read a manuscript--don't check before. If it's through Query Manager there's an easy way to check in. If email, simply email the agent and ask for a status update #askagent

I think every agent is going to have a different opinion on this and some people have different triggers. I guess I wouldn't edit a book for fear of disturbing someone. Let the reader make their own choice. #askagent

Querying either is fine - a good agent will want to discuss both of your projects should she be interested in offering rep. 110k isn't prohibitive in fantasy. #askagent

How about I've written a novel? That's enough. If you feel the need to have a more specific label "in the vein of...." or "for readers of..." #askagent

With fantasy, I don't think 110k is overly long. You could pitch both, just not to the same agent at the same time. However, if you're more excited about one over the other, go with the one you have the most passion for. Go with your gut. #askagent
