#AskFuse I queried Sara Sciuto a while back but received no response. Does your agency have a no response is a 'no' policy?.@DCArchibald Generally, no, but we don't have a single, agency-wide submissions procedure. It varies by agent. #AskFuse

@literaticat Thoughts on the market for short stories? Most agents don't want to even take a look. #askagent@RafiOmar83 not great. The biggest place for short stories is in magazines and anthologies, out of the purview of many agents. #askagent

@SeeSaraScribe I think it's fine if it is really a *significant* revision / gut overhaul AND it's been several months at least. #askagent

.@maxinepatroni Absolutely. Agents are very visible these days via websites and social media, but that's a good default if unsure. #AskFuse

Jade Hemming 🌌 @jadewritesbooks
@FuseLiterary #AskFuse you mentioned career planning - is that future books the author has in mind or career with agent/author relationship?.@jadewritesbooks Future books, mostly. Author/agent relationship tends to be at least touched on in the initial call. #AskFuse

Lisa Katzenberger @FictionCity
#AskFuse how soon after a request via a pitch party are agents willing to wait to see a MS (if the author realized it needed revision)?.@FictionCity Depends upon how timely the subject is. Pitch parties happen all the time, tho. Try not to enter until you're ready. #AskFuse
