New piece up @HumanumReview today.
“Résumé virtues are all plot…what happened and who made it happen, but on their own, they are meaningless…Eulogy virtues—the domestic—are the stakes. Every one of the great stories of the canon is a domestic story…”

@rachkmc I’ve published non-fiction in the Catholic publishing world, and have it listed as a credential in my (general market, adult fiction) query. I keep wondering if I should leave it out, if a majority of New-York-literary-agents consider that a liability not a credential. Thoughts?
@rachkmc Thank you for this! I’ve googled the question to mixed results, with most saying if you’re an American, there’s no reason to query, say, UK agents. But it didn’t really make sense to me in today’s market so it’s helpful to hear you say this.
@cgossagent I like specifics, but I’d also like to know if they’re just top-of-the-list or if the agent *only* wants those specific things. I also appreciate what an agent does not want if those topics/perspectives will be an automatic no.
