@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

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

Is it true that authors don't really get a say in what the book cover looks like? #AskFuse.@nicolelynnhoefs Usually they get a say but not the final one. #AskFuse

Nicole Lynn Hoefs @nicolelynnhoefs
Is there a preference in the publishing world for books to be standalone, or to have a sequel/be a series? #AskFuse.@nicolelynnhoefs Depends upon genre, but we always prefer a career author. #AskFuse

Jennifer Reinharz @Redsaidwhatblog
Do your find PB agents leaning more toward repping auth/illus vs. writers only than in the past? Thank you #AskFuse.@Redsaidwhatblog Either way is fine as long as the project is solid. We're flexible like that. #AskFuse
