@MsMariaVicente What's the fastest you've ever offered to rep an author? #askagentI've read manuscripts over the weekend and offered on Monday. I'm not usually so caught up on requests though! #askagent

@MsMariaVicente Do you think memoirs can still sell even if the subject isn't already well known? Thanks for offering your time!Sure! As long as it approaches a universal topic through a new angle. #askagent

Okay did two pages of a new book. Critique group reminded me to switch from editor brain to creator brain. It had been awhile. #amwritingIf writing feels like going up a hill w/your brakes on maybe it's your editor brain who's behind the wheel #askagent twitter.com/nancyemcc/stat…

Someone asked in the #BookEndsChat what the worst part of the job is and I didn’t have a good answer. But today I know. Eye strain.

@JuliaChurchill #askagent is it advantageous to self-publish something before trying to get an agent?no, if you're trying to get an agent, then focus there. #askagent

@JuliaChurchill is it best to get agent before approaching a publisher, and for illustrated books do you need a finished manuscript? Thanks!If you're looking to grow a career, rather than a one off, then that's what an agent helps with. #askagent

@JuliaChurchill what makes a novel a crossover between adult and YA?It's something that takes place in the market. I guess ask yourself what has made you like some YA books. #askagent

@Campbele_E #bookendschat Glad you all don't do that, but is that something you hear agents do? Saw it as a theory on QT for an agent.I don't think it's smart -- I'd want to show the most enthusiasm by being the first, not the last. #BookEndsChat

@Campbele_E #bookendschat Glad you all don't do that, but is that something you hear agents do? Saw it as a theory on QT for an agent.To me it doesn't make sense. Counterintuitive. Being the first to offer can give you an edge. #BookEndsChat
