@ABLiterary what do you look for most in a client aside from talent? #askagent@CaitlinLaRue Apart from the writing, I'm looking for an author who's open to feedback, honest & easy to work with. #askagent

@ABLiterary Is a YA ms over 75-80,000 words an immediate no? #askagent@MsAlderman No, 75-80,000 for YA is totally fine. I'd say over 100,000 words would be too much. #askagent

@ABLiterary #askagent Would a novel set in the early 1970s be considered "historical fiction"? (I know I'm early--EST dinner reservations.@ecologue_ca I think that's too recent to be considered historical. It's on the borderline, but my gut says no. #askagent

@JuliaChurchill #askagent Do the works in the slushpile really get read? It's one of the only hopes for writers with no previous credits 😔@ash_tokyo That's how we find our new clients, so yes! #askagent

@JuliaChurchill Is now (right before Christmas) a bad time to query agents? Should we wait until January? Thanks in advance! #askagent@ShylaStokes Probably not a bad idea to wait, so everyone is reading/competing at the same time. #askagent

@FuseLiterary #askfuse While querying an agent can a writer also be preparing to self publish for after the just in case?.@emshue_ak Of course, but I'd suggest spending the time writing & building platform instead, in case you get signed. #AskFuse

#askfuse how long is the standard time to hear back from an agent? Also, will you send a rejection letter if the manuscript isn't accepted?.@emshue_ak Check the agent's website. They often post that & it varies from agent to agent. We do, but some do "no response = no." #AskFuse
