I only answer tumblr questions that're asked in the question-box, not private messages. If you can't ask it in public, this isn't the forum.Best practices for Tumblr #AskAgent: Keep it short. Leave out ID details. Be aware that I'm not psychic and can't predict your future.

What is your opinion of using 1st & 3rd POV in the same book? How much of a carnal sin is it? #AskFuse.@AngelineAuthor It's only a carnal sin if you're writing erotica. #AskFuse

@FuseLiterary follow up-What if you mistake the genre, but the agent represents both what it actually is and what you think it is? #askfuse.@amandamariegh Then it's just about the same as any sub. It doesn't present you in the best light to get your genre wrong, though. #AskFuse

@FuseLiterary do agents automatically discount a submission if the writer states the wrong genre? #askfuse.@amandamariegh If you're pitching the agent a genre they don't represent, I'd say you're looking at a 99% + rejection rate. #AskFuse

@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 what is the etiquette around having multiple full/partial requests out with agents? #askfuse.@mayfairromance It's OK. Simultaneous submissions are, for the most part, encouraged. #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
