@outfortune truthfully though, the other agent might have made the difference (editing etc) I couldn't have. #BookEndsChat@outfortune I agree with @BookEndsJessica. I don't regret ones I passed on. If I wasn't excited, then wasn't right agent. #BookEndsChat

#BookEndsChat What to do if your agent doesn't like another work which is of another genre you have? Go for two agents?@authorronago You have to have a frank talk with your agent about that. #BookEndsChat

If an agent asks for an exclusive read, is that a good thing and when should the exclusivity expire? #BookEndsChat@whtchplvampire NEVER! Read my blog on exclusives. I've written extensively on why they're evil. #BookEndsChat

#BookEndsChat If an agent passes on your full ms & you take their advice in rewrite, ok to re-query? Or a big no-no? Assuming no-no.@jaclynreiswig I don’t think it hurts to requery, but I’d judge it on a case-by-case basis. #BookEndsChat

Has the so-called e-book revolution changed how agents work?#BookEndsChat
@charlesharvey99 somewhat. negotiations have changed, etc. But overall, I don't think so. #BookEndsChat this is complex question

Always wondered: do agents have "one that got away" regrets? Or is it hard to even remember someone queried HARRY POTTER, etc?#BookEndsChat

@outfortune There are a few I regret letting get away. And not all the ones I regret have gone on to be published. #BookEndsChat

@BookEndsKim, I do everything the hard way! R u less likely to sign authors who self-published past works? Or does it matter? #BookEndsChat@saybeller As long as what you're pitching hasn't been prev. self-published, I would consider same as I would any other query. #BookEndsChat

#BookEndsChat If an agent passes on your full ms & you take their advice in rewrite, ok to re-query? Or a big no-no? Assuming no-no.@jaclynreiswig I will recommend re-querying. If that agent changed your book for the better wouldn't you want to work w/ her? #BookEndsChat

#BookEndsChat ...do you think there would be a market for a tongue in cheek vampire story...prhaps one that crosses genres?@WhtchplVampire Not for me, I'm really not touching vampires. #BookEndsChat

Do you do this chat on a regular basis? Or announce randomly? #BookEndsChat@TamaraGirardi We’re hoping to do them more frequently, but we announce randomly. #BookEndsChat

What can new writers, as a community, do to improve the process and minimize the extraneous stuff in querying? (2/2) #BookEndsChat@kklstef I'm really not sure there is a shortcut solution. The query information is essential. #BookEndsChat

@BookEndsKim I will look that up. Thanks! I always find those stories fascinating. They do say persistence is key in the biz #BookEndsChat@tamaragirardi @bookendskim and I agree with that 100% no one ever gets published who gives up. #BookEndsChat
