Thanks for doing this. Appreciate the time from each of you to break this down.

Thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much for taking the time to do this! This is really helpful! What do you think of YA Fantasy with two male POVs with strong female characters as well?

[@belcastroliteraryagency6514]

They are great! I don't see why someone would have any issues with that. We need male characters too!

@@belcastroliteraryagency6514 Good to know! I'm querying within the next week and I was worried about that. Haha 😅 Thanks for the reply!

So informative- thank you!

Great conversation. Question: What should an author do when there's been an offer of representation by more than one agent?

[@kaitlynjohnson1098]

From the first offer, you notify all agents with your work and give them 2 weeks to consider. If you get multiple offers, it's really up to you who you feel is the best choice for your story and career! You can always ask specific agents if they have time for a few follow-up questions to help make your decision. And once you choose, notify the other agents that you've accepted an offer elsewhere.

Excellent video! It almost felt like being at a conference. Thank you for the information.

What does it mean when they write "she/her" ?

[@belcastroliteraryagency6514]

It means those are the speaker's pronouns and they should be used rather than any others

Any tips on how to avoid Woke agents?
