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

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…

@FuseLiterary is it important that the agent be in the same location as their client #AskFuse.@fairly_literary These days it doesn't matter where the agent or client lives. #AskFuse

If a YA query is turned down for being "adult" which is the most common culprit: voice, content or writing style? #AskFuse.@ACampbellReed They're all common, but often it's content. They're writing a book about teens that's for adults 1st and teens 2nd. #AskFuse

#askfuse #amwriting is it okay to query a publisher without an agent?.@emshue_ak Sure. Most larger pubs require an agent, but many indies don't. Don't query agents & pubs simultaneously. #AskFuse

Discussing your additional projects with a potential agent, but your new WIP is something the agent doesn’t rep? Just trash it? #AskFuse.@ACampbellReed Always discuss yr work w yr agent. For example, we have clients writing in diff genres & repped by diff Fuse agents #AskFuse

Katie Lewis @kathryndlewis
#AskFuse How do you define women's fiction, and why is it classified separately from literary fiction? #amwriting.@kathryndlewis It's not the best term but WF = specifically for women. I precede it w Literary, Upmarket, or Commercial, depending #AskFuse

Meg Ripley @ripley_meg
How do agents at @FuseLiterary feel about serailization of fiction on sites like Wattpad while querying? Exposure= good or bad? #AskFuse.@ripley_meg Though it isn't necessarily a killer, it removes some options & may be releasing the work before it's properly edited #AskFuse
