@jadeewrites I know that my agency personally goes by Chuck Sambuchino's guidelines when it comes to word count! #askagent

@jadeewrites Anything higher than 100,000 is usually a red flag for me. It takes a lot of editing and practice to get it down! #askagent

Be KIND Mankind @BeKindManKind
@JuliaChurchill Can you query the same agent with another picture book if you have already submitted a first PB? #askagent@BeKindManKind Yes, I've taken on clients for the third, fourth book I've seen from them. #askagent

Leigh Barnard @leighjbarnard
@JuliaChurchill Is it still true that girls will read MG books with boy mc but not the other way around? Has YA changed that? #askagent@iamleighbarnard I think largely not true. An idea that was given plenty of oxygen but doesn't seem to be accurate. #askagent

@JuliaChurchill what are your thoughts about self publishing?@manstayshome I don't have views on it perse. It's more the reasons the writer is entering it to it, & if I think they are sound. #askagent

Janelle McCurdy @JanelleLMccurdy
@JuliaChurchill If a query letter was poorly written, but the sample chapters were brilliant would you still request a full ms? #askagent@SeekerJBeliever Yes, but that doesn't happen very often. If the writer is good, the letter will probably be OK too. #askagent

Grinch Advocate Tinselthief @GATaylor3
@JuliaChurchill Hi,Julia. Do agents reconsider MSs if they've undergone extensive editing with help of an editor? #askagent@GATaylor3 I'd happily look again. No skin off my nose, and I don't want to miss anything. #askagent

Sue Palmer @sueypalmer
@JuliaChurchill Hi. Do you ever take authors on who are between 'first book getting lots of good attention' and a sequel in first draft??@sueypalmer I certainly would consider it, if I thought I had a role to play in helping take their career up a gear or two. #askagent

Ozma Bryant @ozma_bryant
How often do you find clients via social media? What do you look for? #askagent@ozma_bryant I haven't. I start with a manuscript, a book to love. #askagent

Janelle McCurdy @JanelleLMccurdy
@JuliaChurchill And what's the funniest/strangest query letter you have received? #askagent@SeekerJBeliever One covered in bird poo was pretty out-there. #askagent

@JuliaChurchill Do you have a #mswl at the moment? What sub-genre of children's fiction are you looking for? :) #askagent@SeekerJBeliever No, wide open to anything I love! #askagent

@jodieworld An ms should be finished in order to be shaped & edited. If I was him, I wouldn't want to send out a 1st draft. #askagent
