@FuseLiterary Do you accept submissions by debut writers who wish to hide their identity completely?How do you promote their books? #askfuse.@ModestMaria1 Plenty of our clients use pen names, but we still need to know who you are for tax purposes, etc. #AskFuse

@FuseLiterary is there a market for NA with a male MC? I have only seen companion stories and sequels. #AskFuse.@amandamariegh It's far less common, but yes, there is a fair amount of NA with male MCs. #AskFuse

#AskFuse how long does it REALLY take an agent to offer rep after receiving ms? If I don't hear in a week or two, should I write it off?.@YogaChickie It is often stated on the agent's website, but it depends. I could be reading submissions right now, for example. #AskFuse

#AskFuse If I sent my ms to an agent on request and then revised, should I keep that to myself? Or try to update the agent?.@YogaChickie You can contact them and ask, but having submitted the ms before it was ready doesn't cast you in the best light. #AskFuse

@FuseLiterary I have a client with female MC who is 18. Should she shop it as #YA or #newadult? I told her 18 is a hard age? #AskFuse.@wdavisliterary That depends upon the story. YA & NA have very different feelings & issues, though at 18 yr technically an adult. #AskFuse

@FuseLiterary if an agent passes on ur query but said it would be good for another agent, is it ok to ask who they had in mind? #AskFuse.@wdavisliterary No need to follow up. The agent will either make that referral, or they won't. #AskFuse

@FuseLiterary #askfuse how long is too long when returning a revise/resubmit request? 6months? A year?.@LoraWrites It varies, but you should usually turn around an R&R quickly (but not too quickly). A month or so, rather than a year. #AskFuse

Genre question: Would a traditional ghost story with a creepy haunted house, ala Shirley Jackson fall under horror or paranormal? #AskFuse.@ACampbellReed It depends upon the approach, but ghosts are supernatural. #AskFuse

Jordan Marie Green @jordanmarigreen
#AskFuse what is the etiquette for pitching agents at book festivals? Okay to mention that I am querying and see if they want to hear pitch?.@jordanmarigreen No need. It's generally understood that a conference pitch will not be an exclusive pitch. #AskFuse

Cecelia Mecca ⚔️ @CeceliaMecca
In researching #literaryagents many are open to #romance but few request #historicalromance. Is that too narrow a focus? #AskFuse #amwriting.@CeceliaMecca Not at all. In fact, they want you to be more specific, stating the time period, etc. #AskFuse

Ann Campbell Reed @ACampbellReed
Hi All! It seems like 3rd person, 2 MC POVs is industry standard for romance. Or is 1st person 1 MC POV also acceptable? #AskFuse.@ACampbellReed Perhaps more common, but by no means "industry standard." It's a diverse genre, & you can use different approaches #AskFuse

@JoannaMoult @AmberCaraveo #askagent How do we find info about an agency? Their submission successes etc if the info not on their website#askagent @beanie345 It's more important that you find the right connection with an agent, really. That is easier judged if you meet them.
