Kara Mugleston @klmugle

If an agent represents one of my books (an MG), would it be more likely for them to represent another book (a YA)? #AskAgent
Replying to @klmugle

For Kidlit, yes. Though have a conversation with your agent, since they may have a brand vision for you. For me, I am selfish and I want all my clients' kidlit stuff. Now if they want to do some adult thriller stuff, then we might talk them needing an adult agent. #askagent

Chad & Dad Richardson @ChadandDadRich

How do you expect the slow down in the economy to impact the publishing industry? Do you think it will slow things down significantly? #askagent
Replying to @ChadandDadRich

I mean we are all kind of stressed and some have admitted to having a hard time focusing, but people need books. And we need queries. So BookEnds is moving like normal. Will we see things effected, yes, but we work 2 years in the future, so we need to work for 2022. #askagent

@bookendslit #askagent If I receive an R&R do I have to let the agent I've queried? Thx!
Replying to @naziaso

If you agree the notes make your book stronger, you could notify everyone you're doing revisions & will send updated ms when ready. Then everyone is reading the strongest version. When I give an R&R I don't expect exclusivity but make sure the agent doesn't expect it #askagent

nicole bea @nicolebeawrites

If an author has multiple completed manuscripts ready to query, would you recommend they send them to one agent, one at a time, or is there a different process that author should follow such as simply indicating in their query letter they have other projects? #askagent
Replying to @nicolebeawrites

Cast a wide net. Query a handful of agents at once with your manuscript. You want to have your pick of multiple offering agents, if possible! You can query more than one project, too, and if you get an offer, let the other agents know you have an offer on a diff proj. #askagent

@NaomisLitPix #askagent is #dvpit a thing for you that you think is a good idea for authors??
Replying to @aobooks__

I think all pitching contests are great. I don't always participate in every single one, because there are a lot! I do participate in #dvpit when I can! That said, I get way more clients from queries than pitch contests. #askagent

Joanne Machin is querying! @heyjomachin

I *think* I have a basic understanding of it as a writer—but I’d love additional input. “Voice” has been so huge in everything I read re:pub. What is your best answer to what exactly is “voice?” #AskAgent
Replying to @heyjomachin

Voice is so nebulous, especially in terms of what we all react to and are looking for. For me, it's how you craft your manuscript—the dialogue, the description, etc. The tone and the sorts of emotion you can evoke in me. #AskAgent

Replying to @heyjomachin

Voice is so important and so hard to explain, but what is it about your writing, the way you tell a story, that is unique to you. Lots of authors write horror, but who has a voice like Stephen King? Who else writes dialogue like Elmore Leonard? #askagent

Replying to @heyjomachin

It's your writing style. It can vary from genre to genre or character from character, but there will always be little quirks to your writing that readers fall in love with. Kind of like how no one has your handwriting but you. #askagent

Andy Jewett @andyjewett

Last one from me... maybe. For graphic novels do you want a completed script along with rough art/finished art... or are you looking for more of a pitch package? @bookendslit #askagent
Replying to @andyjewett

If you are previously published in comics, I'm more open to a pitch packet because I know you can finish a project. If you're a debut, I want to see a lot more of finished art/script. #AskAgent
