Josie Smith @_josiesmith

#askPSLA How many agents should one query before starting to query a different project?

@Seshat4211 LOTS!!!! As many as you want to work with. Unless you're getting strong feedback that suggests pulling it. #askPSLA

Damhnait Monaghan @Downith

#askpsla can a novel that gently draws you in beat the slush pile?

@Downith depends on how slowly! If it hooks me and it's slow I'll ask for revisions to improve pace #askPSLA

Patti M Hall, writer @PattiMHall

Agnes Gomillion @AgnesGomillion

Part2of2: This ‘culture-gap’ makes finding an agent extra hard for diverse authors. How would you go about bridging the gap? #askPSLA

@AgnesGomillion comp titles are good for that & developing a platform (ie pitching essays to magazines to make yourself an expert) #askPSLA

Julianne Douglas @WritingRen

How many years must pass before an unsold (but heavily revised) ms can be subbed to publishers again? #askPSLA

@WritingRen I only resub to editors if they've requested to read again. I may, depends on case but it's rare #askPSLA

Sarah💜Vance-Tompkins @sarahvtompkins

Are comparative titles an absolute necessity in a query letter? Can you pick authors outside of the genre? #askpsla

@sarahvtompkins comp titles are not 100% necessary. Only pick them if they're a perfect fit for your book & context #askPSLA

Sean McIntyre @Sean__McIntyre

Is there a word-count range agents prefer for upmarket thrillers? Any # in a query where you just go "too long for the genre?" #AskFuse

.@Sean__McIntyre 80-90k is usually good for that, but it varies a bit. Try not to exceed 100k. #AskFuse
