Kimberly Shyu 🎨 @Kimposs1b1e

@UweStenderPhD If I'm pitching a trilogy do you recommend waiting to write the second and third books until I see how the first performs? Or should I get it all written and then tweak as appropriate?
Replying to @Kimposs1b1e

It depends on where you are in your plan. In essence, having Book 1 finished and ready with clear ideas on Books 2 and 3 should be fine. Why write book 2 if book 1 does not sell? Yet, it depends on circumstances and your choices.

Dannie M Olguin @DannieMOlguin

@UweStenderPhD Asking for a friend: Let's say an author queries you. Before you respond, they get an offer from a publisher that temporarily opened to unagented authors. If that author informed you about the offer, would it sway you or would you move their query up the list?
Thanks!
Replying to @DannieMOlguin

It might as long as I love the book, and the publisher is a big one. HOWEVER, again, I would still need to love the book or else, even with a nice offer from a Big 5, I don't want to rep stuff I don't love. I suspect other agents may feel differently.

Veronica F. Johnson @vfieldsjohnson

@leonicka Hi @leonicka thank you for taking questions! What level of editing would you recommend for an aspiring author's manuscript before submitting to an agent? Copy, Line, Developmental or all 3?

All of the above! Send the agent the best draft you can. You don’t want to be rejected for something you knew you had to fix. Don’t start querying if you’re still circulating the draft for feedback. #askagent

Léonicka @leonicka

I LOVE this Q and am running a workshop on it June 12.
Short A: Self-publishing is amazing if Self has the skills and resources to fill the function of a publisher.

floridawritingworkshops.com/schedule-2018-… twitter.com/trent_lewin/st…

Functions of publisher incl:
-prepare product for market (incl editing, typesetting, cover design)
-produce product (incl print and bind)
-market product (incl identify target audience and convert them to readers)
-distribute product (incl warehouse, ship, fulfillment)

Sarah M. Chen @sarahmchen

@UweStenderPhD If I query with a YA but then you request pages and read it and say it's adult, is that an automatic pass because I didn't categorize it correctly?
Replying to @sarahmchen

No, not if I love the book. THOUGH, it could be problematic. If I love BOTH chamomile tea and raspberry tea, and I ordered chamomile, but you give me raspberry, I may still not like it for THAT singular reason.
