Also, you can always write another MS, use a pseudonym, apply to different agents and do things differently with the knowledge of hindsight.
@geostylegeo There’s an expectation from my mum that’s what I’ll do. She’d deny she believes that, or acts on it, but it’s implicit in all. More common than not in minority communities.
@jenny2x4 I can’t even. Jews are murdered and antisemitism is minimised as Jews are white adjacent - not seen as ‘other’. That tweet is vile racism and disgusting.
@JustinRColon It’s all a learning curve, and asking the right questions doesn’t even matter. I think the only thing which counts is their track record. Get a copy of publishers marketplace and SEE who everyone really is.
@JustinRColon Hi, I was offered rep by someone at a brilliant agency who then withdrew the offer at a week as I was writing to accept, simply because I’d delayed saying yes and was waiting to hear back on my fulls to consider other offers. (1)
@eviainez@AMaesAuthor Hi, we all need to get to grips with this if we want a traditional deal. I know it’s insane but agents love to see this. Show off your current market awareness - you can include a film or TV show as well as books if it’s easier to pitch.
