Each agent will have a different answer to this. I prefer a revision with an eye toward the full manuscript before resub. Always tell me in the query if it is a resub after revision so I don't accidentally reject it as a duplicate. #askagent

It depends on genre norms and writing style, but I tend to respond better to third-person POV. That’s not to say I don’t like first-person at all, just that it’s trickier for me personally. #askagent

Each agent will have a different response to this. For me, I don't mind seeing again, but it needs to be a significant overhaul and plz mention it's a resub after revision. Some authors just requery us over and over w/same and I'd hate to wrongly assume that. #askagent

I think many readers like that sense of immediacy that 1st person present gives you, which works especially well in something like a thriller. Personally, it's my least favorite and not something I tend to gravitate to. But that's the super subjective business we're in! #askagent

It's good to mention it AND it is good to have a few different ones completed. We often want to see several PBs not only to see your consistency, but to gauge if there is a stronger book to lead with into submission. #askagent

Definitely other picture book manuscripts completed. If the one isn't grabbing them, then two more in the same series is unlikely to either. #askagent #kidlit #picturebooks

:cough: For most authors, myself included, it's not something that I can be done to the success level you might want without a team of people with different expertise behind you. And that's what traditional publishing and representation gives you. (/thread!) #askagent

I'm always open to seeing something again if, like you said, significant changes have been made. Other agents may feel differently of course, but I think many of us are open to seeing substantive revisions. #askagent

For me, solid offer, please. Other agents may feel differently. #askagent

A great question to ask when you get an offer! "Do you rep other genres? Are there agents at your agency that could handle X genre if you don't?" This does vary widely from agency to agency and agent to agent. #askagent

You could certainly say adult contemporary romance with a speculative element, or a speculative bent, depending on how much that element influences the story. (Hi, Leslie!) #askagent

When authors tell me they have communicated with me on Twitter, I'm just grateful they follow me. It shows me they might really know what they are saying when they say "I see you're interested in X..." So for me, that's a plus, whether I remember it or not. #askagent

I really enjoy traditional publishing. I love having a team that's working to make my book better, I love seeing the finished product that is 1,000 times better than if I'd hired all these team members separately.... #askagent

Query Manager also shows us if you've queried us before. So I can easily say, huh, that name is familiar. And click to see what I liked or didn't like on that previous sub, and look to see what's different this time. #askagent

Either is fine for me, and pubs often have a different vision than I do (they want a duology where I see a trilogy, or a trilogy where I see standalone). Good to tell me in the Q how you envision it, and if I offer, let's have a convo about that potential direction. #askagent

It could also be that there is something about the premise that doesn't feel like it would work in the market. I pass on good books all the time because there just isn't a strong enough market for that particular book at the moment. #askagent

every thirty days, which I could not do consistently and with a level of quality I felt comfortable putting my name on 3.) certain genres just never really took off in self pub'ed ebooks, inc childrens and middle grade 4.) I could not hand sell *and* write *and* ...#askagent

It can honestly be either. Or "my list is full in this area." Or "This is too similar to something on my list." Or "I liked this but I need to LOVE it." Or "I don't have a clear vision of how to resolve the issues I see&naming them could do more harm than good." #askagent

First, know how your offering agent(s) feels about whether you should have them as your sole rep or whether you should have diff rep for diff genres. You can alert agents of other projects that you have an offer on one, espec if that agent reps both genres. #askagent

Wow! I'm surprised someone told you that. No, leave it on. Publishing experience is good for us to know about whether relevant to the current project or not. #askagent
