Great writing, haha! Usually an interesting character and a fresh feeling plot #askPSLA

focus on the connecting thread! I know query shark has a stellar post on it, search "multiple pov" on their site :) #askPSLA

Typically yes, unless themed with a strong hook. #askPSLA

I always rep text-only picture book projects. I've just had author/illustrator on my wish list recently. #askPSLA

Not necessarily, but the first still needs to be satisfying on its own. And focus on the first book! #askPSLA

I got bored, or it was fine but didn't stand out. For fulls the problem is often in the plot. #askPSLA

Nope, but it should definitely be accurate then! Also, if your book is TOO close I might reject bc of it #askPSLA

It depends on the topic/field. Put together a great proposal that really sells your platform regardless of the numbers. #askPSLA

people that follow you having followers, you mean? Not important at all (unless maybe a celeb promises a blurb?) #askPSLA

Yes, this is fine. #askPSLA

more than okay! I've over coming out stories anyway #askPSLA

it depends! But usually, clear concise description of book, focus on character/stakes/conflict, something new #askPSLA

Yes, but it often changes before submission/publication #askPSLA

This is generally fine, just make sure you explain in the query what has been changed. #askPSLA

usually open to it, but I've never signed a project that way (yet!) #askPSLA

it's probably dead for now, unfortunately. Still worth keeping in your inventory, but query with new project #askPSLA

Focus on one project. Briefly mention other works if different categories/genres. #askPSLA

If after 50pgs, nothing has happened and I'm not interested in what happens next, or into the main character. #askPSLA

worth including for that human touch, but not important enough to stress over #askPSLA

sure, as a brief bio note #askPSLA
