They may have had diff agents at diff times, or diff agents for film and book, but multiple agents concurrently for books is rare. #AskKTLit

It's huge. Possibly even bigger than writing. #AskKTLit

Know, however, that's there no curve for age. Your manuscript needs to be as good as adult writers' work to be published. #AskKTLit

I always recommend including *relevant* credentials. If your ms has a scientific basis, go for it. #AskKTLit

Email the other agents considering the book that you have an offer of representation, &ask them to get back to you w/in set time. #AskKTLit

Then you don't need to say anything! #AskKTLit

If the agent likes the full and wants a conversation, yes, that's a great time to mention the sequel. #AskKTLit

Darn! Forgot my own hashtag! #AskKTLit

If you want to submit your query to our About My Query posts, check out the submission guidelines here: ktliterary.com/2016/09/ask-da… #AskKTLit

SubRts can be a nice additional stream of income, but they usually assume a good deal with a publisher first, and a nice success. #AskKTLit

SubRts are all the ancillary rights beyond the initial deal: foreign, film, audio, commercial, etc. #AskKTLit

We are definitely looking for nonfiction, as per this post: ktliterary.com/2016/08/were-l… #AskKTLit Voice is a big deciding factor in a NH query.

You've got to query on one book at a time, but ideally, you're querying agents who rep all the genres you write. #AskKTLit

Nope, those are usually the "Dear Agent" queries. That's often how you can tell. #AskKTLit

Mine's a diverse, ideally #OwnVoices YA fantasy or speculative fiction. #AskKTLit

I think that's just adult commercial or literary fiction. #AskKTLit

For me, it's being cc'ed on the same query to multiple agents. Every other query I answer, those get trashed unread. #AskKTLit

Relevant pub credentials are always welcome! Particularly if you went through an editorial process. #AskKTLit

You can! We don't usually compare notes at the query stage, although we do discuss manuscripts under submission. #AskKTLit

Noting that this makes it adult, though, not YA. #AskKTLit
