Would MC's age or MS content be more of a factor in defining something as either YA or NA? #AskAgent@ldlapinski I think content/tone is always the number one identifier of core reader, with age of character coming second. #AskAgent

@JuliaChurchill From the many submissions you receive a month, what percentage (roughly) do you ask to see a full manuscript? #askagent@BrowettSian Probably every couple of hundred, roughly. But some weeks none, and then I get lucky and a few in a day. #AskAgent

Is it true that authors don't really get a say in what the book cover looks like? #AskFuse.@nicolelynnhoefs Usually they get a say but not the final one. #AskFuse

@FuseLiterary #AskFuse Earlier you said few debuts earn out their advance, does this reduce chance of publication for next book?.@RoseAnnFoster Yes, but it depends upon how many sold vs advance, print run, etc. #AskFuse

Is there a preference in the publishing world for books to be standalone, or to have a sequel/be a series? #AskFuse.@nicolelynnhoefs Depends upon genre, but we always prefer a career author. #AskFuse

Do your find PB agents leaning more toward repping auth/illus vs. writers only than in the past? Thank you #AskFuse.@Redsaidwhatblog Either way is fine as long as the project is solid. We're flexible like that. #AskFuse

What are some of the best genres to try and get publish in? Any specific ones that are big right now? #AskFuse.@nicolelynnhoefs Write what you want. If you're not writing what you want, it's going to be shit. #AskFuse

@FuseLiterary in manuscript page length, how much does it grow after published? Or even better, what is the desired word count? #AskFuse.@KelseyCrossing That depends upon layout and packaging. It varies a LOT. Yet another reason why we always use word count. #AskFuse
