@JuliaChurchill How long should a summary be within a query letter? Thanks :) #askagent@Laura_Crampton A paragraph or two usually. Tends to be shorter for younger fiction. #askagent

L.D. Lapinski 🎄 @ldlapinski
Would MC's age or MS content be more of a factor in defining something as either YA or NA? #AskAgent@ldlapinski I think content/tone is always the number one identifier of core reader, with age of character coming second. #AskAgent

Sian Browett @BrowettSian
@JuliaChurchill From the many submissions you receive a month, what percentage (roughly) do you ask to see a full manuscript? #askagent@BrowettSian Probably every couple of hundred, roughly. But some weeks none, and then I get lucky and a few in a day. #AskAgent

@FuseLiterary #AskFuse Earlier you said few debuts earn out their advance, does this reduce chance of publication for next book?.@RoseAnnFoster Yes, but it depends upon how many sold vs advance, print run, etc. #AskFuse
