#AskFuse Are you turned off by writers who write across age ranges? #askfuse.@SherLHoward Yes if they leap around, but it's fine if they're willing to build their brand in specific areas. #AskFuse

@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 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
