Faerl Marie @Faerlmarie

If you significantly revise an MS is it appropriate to resubmit? Should you mention it was previously submitted? Thanks, #askagent

@Faerlmarie if you've truly majorly overhauled and it's been 6+ months - ok. But yes, mention. #askagent

@literaticat #askagent Which conferences usually have the most #YAlit oriented agents in attendance?

@colinrossleslie huh - I don't know! I mean, I'd guess #SCBWI confs, but those are the main ones I go to, maybe there are others! #askagent

@lauraeweymouth friendly. As long as you are *being* friendly and aren't, like, creepily asking about it, etc. 😻 #askagent

Nicola Davidson @NicolaMDavidson

@literaticat Do you see many BAD contracts nowadays, or are most reasonably fair with a few tweaks? #askagent

@NicolaMDavidson some bad - mostly from new small publishers. We have already negotiated agency boilerplate w biggies. #askagent

@AshInOurMinds very important. They let me know you know the market and where it fits. But only your writing makes me request. #askagent

#askagent Good / bad idea to include a website / Twitter name in your query if you don't have a huge following?

@novelarnia Good. We'll find it anyway #askagent

V E Hust @VirginiaGHust

@LZats MC suffers from migraines, it's not really part of the plot. She's a princess dealing with life, do I mention it in a query #askagent

@VirginiaGHust Nah. #askagent

Alexis Daria @alexisdaria

#askagent How much do you expect voice to come through in the one page synopsis?

@alexisdaria @LZats honestly, a decent amount. I'd be hesitant to request a ms that sounds good if the synopsis is poorly written #askagent

Alexis Daria @alexisdaria

#askagent How much do you expect voice to come through in the one page synopsis?

@alexisdaria As much as possible. Focus on small details of character/story that set the tone #askagent

Samantha Eaton All The Sugarplums ❄️ @Samantha_Eaton3

#askagent even though it's very unlikely, might an agent still take on a dystopia/post apoc if it was truly truly unique from the rest?

@Samantha_Eaton3 Yes. Just avoid calling it that. #askagent

Rebecca Thorne @novelarnia

@LZats Any specifics for chapter titles? I typically bold them for easy reference. #askagent

@novelarnia That's fine! #askagent
