Should I tell an agent during a critique that I submitted to them earlier? #amwriting #amquerying #askagent tracymarchini.com/2019/07/08/tel…

If it is very well done, it should work. There seems to be a bit of oversaturation on that arena, but brilliance will win out.

Not at all.

Yes, I have. I would be upfront and tell them what you changed, and mention what they said in regards to their rejection. Some will definitely give you a second chance, some may not, but additionally there are a lot of respectable agents around.

Bonus: Here's my blog post on how I decide to offer representation: leonicka.com/2019/02/25/dec… #askagent

2. Biggest reasons I reject: "I don't rep that" and "this book is too long." Also there are themes that just aren't for me. Sexual violence is usually an instant no. #askagent

1. I request when I've read the sample and the synopsis and I'm eager to keep reading. The easiest way to do this is to entertain me! I am a book lover and I miss reading for fun. So if I fly through your sample like it's a hot new release, I'm requesting. #askagent

On avg I reject in 12 days and request in 34 days. I spend a lot of time deliberating before requesting, especially now that I have a stack of full manuscripts to read too. Thnx for your patience!!!! Questions? Comments? #askagent

I've been deep in the revision trenches this week so it's no surprise that this week's video is about how much input authors have in revisions. youtu.be/Rx8Fb2R_eUs #askagent

Work day over. It's 92 degrees in Sewickley, and I am bouncing back and forth between pool and pond. If anyone is now up for an #askagent until 6:30 pm Eastern, I'll settle at the pond, watch the koi and answer questions.

Agents have different processes so this answer only applies for me:

If there is editorial work to be done on the manuscript, we do that first. Then, I put it on submission.

If no edits needed, I just put it on submission and nothing else is expected of the author. #AskAgent

And remember that this is just one suggestion! There are a million places you can start your story! What's important is that you pick the one that works best for your story, and not just because Writing Advice said it was the place to start. #writingtips #askagent

Woof. If it has been more than six months and it’s a MAJOR revision... sure. #AskAgent

I’d say it includes nonfiction UNLESS they specifically say Fiction only. And, timely topics (feminist, social justice, etc), STEM, and history/bio about lesser-known folks/topics that can still clearly tie into curriculum. #AskAgent

1) I’ll ask for “two or three” — 2) I just want to know you have more than one great idea and high quality work. #askagent

If you can describe something in a super quick nutshell to an agent, whose eyes then turn into dollar signs — that’s high concept. 🤑 “Pride and Prejudice meets Terminator.” “Anastasia in Space.” “Time-traveling Golden Retreiver.” #AskAgent

Not with me. I cannot speak for others.
