@literaticat Pb books were a hard sell for a while...has the market opened up? Or is this still a hard sell for an agent? #askagent@CaitlinLaRue We sell more PB's than anything else as an agency. #AskAgent

@literaticat My NA Contemp is told from 3 POVs, writing the query is tough! Any suggestions? #AskAgent@WriterRivers I'd probably pick one story and make it the "star" of the query - then mention "told in multiple POVs" #AskAgent

@tehlorkay Eh, it's fine either way. I would HOPE you do, and I EXPECT you do - because I have good taste! ;-) #AskAgent

@literaticat With an R&R, how long is an acceptable time for author to take before getting it to you? #askagent@EWallerCarlino I don't care - I'd rather have it take six months or a year but be AMAZING, than a week but be rushed/shitty. #AskAgent

@literaticat If so, ideas on how not to make it sound like that's the reason to rep? #askagent@ElyanaNoreme well, nobody is going to offer rep based on character color or setting. The quality of the book is utmost! #AskAgent

@literaticat What are some of the reasons an agent might switch agencies? #AskAgent@snarkychicklet Maybe their situation changed and they want flex to work from home (or would rather have structure of office), etc #AskAgent

@literaticat What are some of the reasons an agent might switch agencies? #AskAgent@snarkychicklet Well... why might anyone change companies? Want new opportunities, offered shinier deal, more amenable boss... #AskAgent

@literaticat If my protag is a POC and the setting isn't continental US, do I mention in query? 1/2 #askagent@ElyanaNoreme I think it's a good idea to give a sense of who the mc is and where the book is set. Whatever that may be! #AskAgent

@literaticat how do you feel about multiple POVs retelling, for instance, "Day 1" three different ways as experienced by that POV #AskAgent@jwparente *shrug* I have no particular feelings about it, as long as it is not repetitive/boring! #AskAgent

@literaticat speaking of culture, do you look for diversity in authors of non-us/uk nationalities? (who write in english, obv) #AskAgent@tassitassi I'm open to authors who live anywhere, and love unique perspectives, as long as the writing (in english) is strong. #AskAgent

@literaticat how does it work with international publishers? Always through co-agents or depends on the country? #AskAgent@tassitassi (because, you know, I don't speak the language or know the nuances of the culture, etc!) #AskAgent
