Can anyone weigh in on a good word count for a cozy mystery novel? I’m seeing lots of conflicting info! #askanagent #writerscommunity #mysterywriters

[Janna Mary Stein @janna_stein]

@gracemilusich Thanks for doing this! If an author has already self-published, does that make them less attractive to an agent when querying future works?

@authorjesspayne @MatteristBooks Hi, I’m Janna. I’m a mom of a 9 month old. I’ve written a YA Fantasy which I’m querying now (it’s gut wrenching) and I’m toying with the idea of writing a cozy mystery.

@klziggler @authorjesspayne @klziggler I relate to all of this! Querying is rough, yet I find myself getting excited about a new WIP!

@JSSaunders1721 @BrynDonovan I think there’s a way to send her a message through query manager. Congratulations!

@Michelle4Laughs Thanks so much!

@HamzeRami Giving birth and caring for a new baby is the only thing that has taken more effort, pain, and perseverance.

How long did you guys wait before following up?

[Janna Mary Stein @janna_stein]

Hello, I’m back with another question. If you had a full manuscript request, which you submitted via query tracker, is it possible to follow up/nudge the agent? There is no email correspondence. Thanks as always! #amquerying #askanagent #traditionalpublishing #YAauthors

@lifestyleprism @MatteristBooks Hello! I’m an YA writer! 👋🏼

[Janna Mary Stein @janna_stein]

@ohdeeremily Oh god, I feel this!!

[Em 🐝 @ohdeeremily]

querying is really neat because you get to take something you love and turn it into a constant source of anxiety 🥰 such fun!!!

[Janna Mary Stein @janna_stein]

Big rejection today from an agency I was hopeful about. Including some negative feedback that was tough to hear. 😩 How do y’all stay positive in this process? #amquerying

[Janna Mary Stein @janna_stein]

@melissatyndall So sorry I am going through something similar today. It sucks. But I believe our stories will find the right person

[Janna Mary Stein @janna_stein]

Advice needed: how much personal information should you put in your bio when submitting a query? Do I keep it to works published or can I add a little flair about myself? #askanagent #amquerying #traditionalpublishing
