Just answered a SLEW of #AskAgent questions on le tumblr. So many, I can't even link to them all individually. literaticat.tumblr.com

Tumblr #askagent: If my MS touches on racial experiences, should I mention that I am of the same racial background?bit.ly/1pe33Fs

.@Kerstin_Wolf There are many paths, but arguably the best way is to intern for an agent who matches your genre interests. #AskFuse

.@Karen_K_Lewis NA is "Oh, shit. I'm an adult. Now what?" in any genre. Age 18-25. Contemp WF isn't bound to that but is for women. #AskFuse

@Lkroeger007 @aftenbrook I don't believe anyone has actual statistics to show that, at least to my knowledge. I think that #askagent

@Lkroeger007 emotional turmoil, individual journey type of novels, focusing on the MC's development and less about the romance. #askagent

@Lkroeger007 business (with the exception of fantasy, which is doing the opposite) seems to be heading more towards realistic, #askagent
