@redcoatfollower not that I know of! #askagent

@novelarnia double space, 12 pt TNR. Pretty standard. #askagent

@erikhane @KelseyDL @JoEatsFood Relatedly, who knows you? What author/pub connections/exp do you have? #askagent

@adanawashington not strictly, no. It IS a turnoff if an author wants to tell me where to sub and wants to do my job for me #askagent

@SH_Marr_Writes soft SF has less realistic elements, Light is light on the science #askagent

@bronniesway Eh. Depends if you're talking para romance, but it's not about trends, it's about indiv books and breaking the mold #askagent

@750GMT @LZats I say too little is worse. If I don't know what the book is, no way I'm asking to see it. #askagent

@750GMT 3-4 paragraphs: hook, book, book, bio. Both are bad bad bad. #askagent

@alexisdaria maybe a light contemporary fantasy! #askagent

@LZats @OdeliaEmmanuel Agree here. I weigh all the positives of a writer, which stretch beyond just the book. #askagent

@SEdenWilliams Mention it. Won't hurt! it's the POTENTIAL that's important #askagent

@adanawashington That is entirely subjective, and depends on the gameplan of the author's career #askagent

@lucretiastories That's a pitch, not a comp. Okay for a description of the work, but don't confuse it w/ competition #askagent

@KeithAManuel almost none. But for litfic if might matter more. @erikhane? #askagent

@atmorrell Yep. Just signed one! *waves at @LyndsayEly* #askagent

@erikhane @JoEatsFood Agreed! #askagent

@SEdenWilliams Series! You'll be surprised how soon you'll need to submit #2 to a publisher! #askagent

@EEUrso If 3ish people say the same thing, it's a Problem. Finish your round of querying, revise, and then get back out there! #askagent

@OdeliaEmmanuel I will consider their career goals, future works, &personality before I sign them. I'm signing them, not a book! #askagent

@LZats @JoEatsFood a clear understanding of author platform somewhere in there helps too. #askagent
