@eisen5585 would depend on the projects! I tend to read my clients' synopses/samples & focus on the strongest writing/concept #askagent

@mushenska If a writer asked, would an agent advise on any areas that made them reject the MS so they could look at improving it? #askagent@GraceBarton2065 it tends to be a time thing - if I have specific feedback I will offer it automatically typically #askagent

Elvin Mensah @elvinmensah
@mushenska Thnx! Also, because of novels set in the UK struggling to sell in the US, would a novel set in London put you off? #askagent@elvinmensah no, specifically UK set books can def work in U.S. (Eg Girl on the Train) - plot needs to feel universal #askagent

@mushenska Thank you! Final question I promise: how many queries would you get vs. the number you take on #askagent@aishabushby I get about 600 subs a month & take on as many as I fall in love with (6 last year, 13 year before) #askagent

@mushenska do you only sign for a specific book, or would you sign a writer who might have potential? #askagent@duncanharding I'd need to love the particular book to sign the writer, but always have one eye to longterm career #askagent

If you pick up a client and later on they write something for a genre you're not interested in. Would you still rep it? #AskDLG@jltoman83 If the writing and story is amazing we would definitely consider it. Our goal is to rep for career of that writer #AskDLG
