Is it best to pitch a children's picture book (intended audience 3 to 5) with or w/out illustrations? #AskFuse #BabbleTribe @FuseLiterary.@KimZapata Usually without. Publishers like to match the text with an illustrator. #AskFuse

@FuseLiterary Do New Adult books have to be about college romance, or is it more about the age of the characters? #AskFuse.@amandamariegh No. That's just what has sold best (by far) in that age category. #AskFuse

@FuseLiterary When asked for the MS by the agent, how long does the nail biting writer typically wait to hear back? #AskFuse.@yaddathree Usually a few months, but it varies a lot. I could be reading instead of answering this, for one. #AskFuse

@FuseLiterary that's great, thank you :) one more if I may...are some agents put off by co-authored manuscripts? #askfuse.@ItsRachelConnor It's more work for the agent, but it's sometimes necessary. I've even encouraged co-authors for certain projects. #AskFuse

#AskFuse I've heard tell that agents don't like prologues. Would you be put off by a prologue in a query?.@ItsRachelConnor It's not that agents don't like prologues, it's that they r often unnecessary. Be sure 2 edit & follow guidelines #AskFuse

AmandaCharles @amandaLcharles
#askfuse @FuseLiterary seeing agents state 'accessible fantasy' on their wishlists. What's the definition of this, or meant by accessible?.@amandaLcharles That's a relative term, but it roughly means that it can be enjoyed by a more mainstream audience. #AskFuse
