.@alecdshane Is it important for writers to personalize queries? #askagent@CourtGilfill YES! Mention a book you liked or an interview an agent gave. Proof that you did your homework goes a LONG way. #askagent

Katie Spina @KatieSpina
@FuseLiterary how do you query a fantasy standalone that sets up series linked by the world rather than characters ala discworld #askfuse.@KatieSpina If the rest don't require this book, it's a standalone with series potential. Otherwise it's the first in a series. #AskFuse

.@MeinhardtBrandy That depends upon the agent and the project. Some will stop after 10, others keep going for years. #AskFuse

Jim Ormonde @jimormonde
#AskFuse If previously submitted w/o success but completely rewritten novel with help from creditable prof editor would you reconsider?.@jimormonde Usually no, unless the agent specifically asked for edits. That's why it's important to edit before you submit! #AskFuse

.@CareyTorg Always have a synopsis ready when querying fiction, & always give the agent/publisher exactly what they ask for. #AskFuse

Ann Campbell Reed @ACampbellReed
Are 2 MC first-person POVs too much for YA? Have heard it’s distracting and not a good practice and others say it’s desirable. #AskFuse.@ACampbellReed It's very tricky, but it can be done well. Make sure the voices are distinguishable, and you're good. #AskFuse

.@CareyTorg Ideally we'd see how it all adds up to one narrative experience, so consider just labeling the timelines. #AskFuse

Dorian Maffei @DorianMaffei
To the author who has written a 550,000 word book: That word count could kill someone. Please shoot for under 100,000 words. #querytipOuch! My eyes hurt just thinking about it. For most adult fiction 80,000 words is the sweet spot. #askagent twitter.com/DorianMaffei/s…
