Shannon Price @spricewrites
#AskFuse What's a healthy/acceptable amount of time to wait between querying two different MSS?.@spricewrites No real limit, but it's very helpful if you know what your first book needs to be. That will eliminate that issue. #AskFuse

Liz Crowe @TheLizCrowe
@FuseLiterary is it wise to continue to query even after multiple rejections? #askfuse #isithappyhouryet..@beerwencha2 Almost every new bestseller receives multiple rejections. Analyze the responses & determine if revision is needed. #AskFuse

M.L. Keller @ml_keller
Are there any genres that really are a tough sell right now, or ones that are doing exceptionally well? #AskFuse.@ml_keller Depends, but UF is tough right now, contemporary still going strong, MG still doing very well. Write what you want. #AskFuse

Liz Crowe @TheLizCrowe
@FuseLiterary Is there as much an expectation of formula in thrillers as there is romance for agents? #amwriting #amquerying #AskFuse.@beerwencha2 Absolutely not. Read heavily in your genre to know what's expected, but you also want to stand out. #AskFuse

LiterallyCass @CassLiterally
#AskFuse Should authors look for agents if they get offers from smaller publishers or is it not worth it?.@CassLiterally I'd suggest it. You don't need an agent, but it's in your best interest to have one before you sign a contract. #AskFuse

. @FuseLiterary what does it mean that you're a "hybrid agency?" Thx #askfuse #amwriting.@beerwencha2 We use traditional & self-pub for the common goal of sustained, successful author careers. & @agentsavant is bionic. #AskFuse

Pamela Schmid @pam_schmid
Is a proposal needed w/ a query when I've got a completed memoir ms. that reads like fiction? #AskFuse.@pam_schmid Not 100% necessary, but it's such a competitive market that it's in yr best interest to spend that extra time on one. #AskFuse

❄CASS CATALANO❄ @C_B_Catalano
Is there a want for diverse books like a story of mental illness in a parent from a child's eyes in YA? Specifically bipolar? #AskFuse.@elusi0n Sure, if it's well done and unique. That isn't an untapped subject. Just don't refer to YAs as children. Teens hate that. #AskFuse

☕Kara Cargill 🎄❄ @Coffee_Is_love
@FuseLiterary what happens when you're about to sign with an agent? Like, do they email, then call, then send a contract #AskFuse.@Coffee_Is_love There is always communication before an agent sends a contract. #AskFuse

Poppy Alexander @FicAuthorPoppy
@FuseLiterary #AskFuse do agents iso clients want only polished, ready to sell MS's, or writers w 1 or more ready-for-final-draft works?.@FicAuthorPoppy Fiction should only be queried when polished. Anything less will be rejected. #AskFuse

Lauren Simonis @SimonisLauren
Any easy ways to determine if something is spec fic or sci-fi? #askfuse.@SimonisLauren Spec Fic encompasses Sci-Fi. @dreamoforgonon has a great blog on SF/F subcategories here: fuseliterary.com/sff-subcategor… #AskFuse

.@GregAndree71 Depends upon agent & agency. E.G. @AuthorTrish is working closely w @agentsavant, so it's more of a joint decision. #AskFuse

madolyn locke @madolynlocke
@FuseLiterary Realistically, do unsolicited queries have a shot of being picked up? #AskFuse.@madolynlocke I've signed most of my list from the slush, but never one lamenting the difficulty of querying. Stay positive! #AskFuse
