Platform matters for nonfiction, because you should be involved/have experience in topic. For fiction, social media doesn't bother me. I will work with you on bulking that, but it's not necessary to have a big platform #askagent

If it's a complete rewrite, I'd be okay with it. Others may not, so be sure to take a close look at their preferences #askagent

You could state you've published graphic novels with NAME and also had publications through various small presses. If they want to know more, they'll ask who those presses are (it's still a great accomplishment, though! Congrats!) #askagent

I would only let agents know if you've had an offer of representation or if a press/publisher is currently considering the manuscript. We expect other agents to be reading it, so we don't need you to let us know #askagent

focus on the main character for the pitch, but mention it is multi POV in the metadata paragraph (title, word count, genre, etc.) #askagent

Nope! If it's a completely separate work/series, the agent shouldn't be concerned with that. If they want to set up a call to discuss your work, let them know so they're aware of all the projects you're working on #askagent

Totally fine ending mid-scene. I would suggest not going over the stated number of pages. And yes, whatever they request, it should be double spaced first. Double space the pages, then send the first 5 (if requested) or 10 if they asked for more #askagent

It's not usually all related topics. Like, I don't like graphic rape, but I understand a character who has a past where they experienced it or as you said, are the product of. So, unless they state graphic or any relation to it, you might be ok #askagent

Oh, lord! Ummmm have all of my clients at Big 5 publishers? Maybe? Probably to make enough money that I can agent full time and not have a second job? lol I don't really know. I just love what I do #askagent

New adult is an agent category, not a sub genre, but we're still trying to get it the attention it needs. Right now, most publishers shy away, or label is YA with adult crossover or Adult with YA crossover. #askagent

I'd love that. We're still working on trying to get New Adult (these ages) to expand. It's a growing struggle lol But I definitely want to see more of this and think there's potential #askagent

Perfectly happy to hear you've self published before and are now pitching a new story. Doesn't affect my choice in the least. We're not judging your self published work. You've grown. Moved on to new stories. It should be about THIS story #askagent

OMG no, we want them!!! We need them! Tell your friend there's definite hope! #askagent

ever since the TV show, people have been trying to compare their story to that. But it needs to be incredibly strong and unique to really land. Angels/demons hasn't been a huge hit apart from that, so it depends what element of the show/book you're similar to #askagent

haha oh that's a list. I would just say be sure to always look at agent submission guidelines/twitter posts to be POSITIVE they are taking your genre/age. that's a bit deal lol #askagent

If none of this, give one or two lines about you: town you live in, job, college you graduated from, how many dogs you have. I just want a bit about you. It should never be longer than the pitch letter itself. #askagent

That's info we don't need. Give us publication credits if you have them. If not, but you have a connection to the plot/character (like it's about a social worker and you are a social worker) state that. #askagent

I would say the editor name and house. All details help #askagent

An agent should be trying to get you in any reputable house. We don't focus on just certain houses. We create a list and are continuously sending you to new people. and just because an agent hasn't sold to a house, doesn't mean they can't #askagent

Sure! Normally, unless the query is 100% no (like about rape or something I strictly say I don't take), I read the pages. I don't often read the synopsis unless I like the pages and want to see where the story goes #askagent
