@LizHansonBooks Well, w/out reading it, it SOUNDS LIKE you are just starting in the wrong place/not getting to action fast enough #AskAgent

@LudmylaFirebird I usually read in order, unless there is a compelling reason not to (another offer, for ex). #AskAgent

@NightTimeReader Work-wise: Flexibility, willingness to revise/change course. Personally: being positive, kind-hearted, thoughtful #AskAgent

@LudmylaFirebird Sure - just keep good records yourself to avoid self-confusion! #AskAgent

@RobbinsWilly I don't, actually, I'm afraid this is not my area of expertise. Sorry! #AskAgent

@Karahsel I am not sure I understand the question. There are as many different kinds of voice as there are people, no? #AskAgent

@EveMessenger Just mention it in the query letter. (usually my authors will also tell me that they've referred) #AskAgent

@NightTimeReader I only have so much time. Just bc something is good, doesn't mean I can sign it up! I have to LOVE LOVE IT :-) #AskAgent

@NightTimeReader Either I don't think it is good enough, or I think it is good but I don't personally like it enough to rep it. #AskAgent

@EveMessenger *cough* you can try me, but if it is "how do I write a query" get ready for a snarky response! ;-) #AskAgent

@laurengallegos I would say if you are an illustrator probably sketch dummies / thumbnails and one or two finished pieces are OK. #AskAgent

@AuthorRLyndsey (Other things agents do: Negotiate your contract. Make sure you get paid. Be "bad cop" with your publisher. etc) #AskAgent

@AuthorRLyndsey As for how to get one -- start by looking at agent websites, or even googling "how do I get a literary agent" #AskAgent

@AuthorRLyndsey If you want to be published traditionally, many publishers require an agent. Agents help your entire career. #AskAgent

@LudmylaFirebird PERSONALLY, I am not so interested in Angel/Demon or "elemental" stories. Not a PEEVE, just not an interest. #askagent

@AlexisTLarkin length, tone, and age of the protagonist. #AskAgent

@tweet2abby Sex, drugs, graphic violence, "hard-cursing" will not fly in MG. But difficult/terrible SITUATIONS and ISSUES are ok. #askagent

@tweet2abby To generalize: MG is often about finding your place in a family/friend group. YA is often about finding YOURSELF. #AskAgent

@APhillips0926 I most want to see authentic stories, from perspectives that are underrepresented in children's books. #AskAgent

@LudmylaFirebird Usually always. At least I generally remember the stories, if not the face/name. Yes, mention! #AskAgent
