@FuseLiterary so the "huge following" requirement of indie pubbed books doesn't follow in this situation? #AskFuse.@mayfairromance In theory, it can work. In practice, very unlikely. The applicable market is much smaller, & new work is preferred #AskFuse

What's Fuse's policy about rewritten fanfiction? is it similar or different to having pubbed indie? #askfuse.@mayfairromance We'll work w fanfic on occasion as long as the author is writing other things. It can't already be published. #AskFuse

@FuseLiterary What kind of numbers are you looking for with platform? Can expertise in the field constitute platform? #askfuse.@SherLHoward Expertise in a field is often the first component of platform. The next is becoming widely known for it. #AskFuse

@FuseLiterary #AskFuse Thanks for honesty. But is it okay to say you have indie work in a query letter?.@Anneelizabethhe I suggest always being honest & up front with a prospective agent or publisher. They will Google you. #AskFuse

#AskFuse do all your agents send rejections or does no sometimes result in silence?.@SaadiaFaruqi If one of our agents is currently accepting queries, you will receive a response. Not so for all agencies. Check 1st #AskFuse

#AskFuse That's a pity because it's good. Who defines that? And why? Why not flip an indie? It's been known to. Good question to answer.@Anneelizabethhe There are more moving parts than that. Long story very short, it would need to sell tons to even be considered. #AskFuse

#AskFuse Should I even pursue a lit agent if I am an indie with indie work? How does that "work" in a query letter?.@Anneelizabethhe You plan to keep writing, yes? Absolutely you can seek an agent. Just don't plan on flipping your published work. #AskFuse

Shelby @PoeVanGoghAl
@FuseLiterary Is it better to start talking to agents after I finish writing my series or after the first book? #askfuse.@PoeVanGoghAl Don't wait until you've finished the whole series. The first book might not sell, & u don't want to waste your time. #AskFuse

#askfuse if it has only been 3 months is it to soon to contact an agent regarding query?.@emshue_ak Depends upon the agent's stated response time. For many, that's perfectly reasonable. For others, no. #AskFuse

Nicole Lynn Hoefs @nicolelynnhoefs
If your client has multiple manuscripts when you sign them, do you always try to publish the one they queried you with first? #asknewagent@nicolelynnhoefs For me, yes. That is what I fell in love with an dsaw the market for. #asknewagent

#asknewagent If you are being mentored closely by an established author, should you mention it? Or is that an annoying name drop?@dalessandro512 Most of the time, I find it an annoying name drop. And i have had people lie about that one before... #asknewagent
