Many #askagent Qs revolve around writers being repped by agent they don't trust or fearing they might. Don't sign w agent b/c offered 1st.

A. Benedetti @AuthorAB

I've heard the publishing industry gets very busy this time of year. Should we expect query responses to take longer now? #AskFuse

.@AuthorAB In general, yes, things can get a bit hectic around now with Frankfurt and the fall blitz. The result varies, though. #AskFuse

☕Kara Cargill 🎄❄ @Coffee_Is_love

@FuseLiterary #AskFuse is it OK to submit more than one manuscript to one agent? Or should we do one at a time to the same agent?

.@Coffee_Is_love It's generally not a good idea. Shows lack of focus and patience. #AskFuse

Amelinda Berube 👻👻 @metuiteme

Does advice against querying presses & agents @ same time extend to something like this? harpervoyagersubmissions.com #AskFuse

.@metuiteme Yes. That's arguably worse bc it potentially spoils a Big 5 opp w a ms that isn't ready. Read: fuseliterary.com/simultaneous-s… #AskFuse

Kelly deVos @KdeVosAuthor

Do you recommend comps in queries/pitches? @FuseLiterary #AskFuse

.@KdeVosAuthor Yes, as long as they're common, successful, & appropriate. And they aren't Harry Potter, Eat Pray Love, the Bible... #AskFuse

#AskFuse Someone in my writing group said editors hate it when you use active -ing verbs, is this true?

.@Sovae Some aren't too fond of adverbs, but no, I've never heard that. As long as you don't overdo it. It must fit & feel natural. #AskFuse

@NobleValerie What's your favorite way to celebrate a successful pitch? #AskDLG

@EmilyBeeMartin I love reading a query that captivates me and asking the author to send me the whole story! #luckyagent #AskDLG

L. Seabaugh, Killer of Beautiful Things @Imaginarialist

Is there anything you've seen enough of in your crowded query boxes? Overused tropes or newbie errors? #askdlg

@Imaginary_L great question! For me a dystopian with a totalitarian regime, some kind of games, or school, themes I've lots of #AskDLG

A.R. Lucas @ARLucasWrites

#AskDLG The thing that most draws you in in a query? How to get you to the pages?

@EliseNicole88 Hi Elise! For me, it's often the tone. The pages evoke some feeling- and makes me curious where the story is heading. #AskDLG

Author Julia Ash @Author_JuliaAsh

#AskDLG Is 1st Person POV preferred over 3rd person limited or does it depend on the story?

@Author_JuliaAsh just depends. I've heard some editors say they love 3rd person, but every story is different, right? I like both. #AskDLG
