I'm thinking about placing a "No AI was used in the creation of this novel or query" at the end of my query letter.
Any literary agents/editors/publishers out there have thoughts on doing this? Would it be appreciated?

Hey all. Curious here.

What’s the average word count for an adult fantasy debut?

Thank you 🩵

Anyone know how one would go about querying a 3 book series, two of which were previously (but not currently published) with a third that is ready to be published for the first time?

Looking for advice.

Hi! I'm querying a fun, flirty, sun-soaked romantic comedy set in coastal Portugal.

I still hate comps. I still think it is a quiet way to lock out marginalized writers from wandering off and really writing deep about their experiences that doesn't bend to the privileged class. Anthro degree, BTW, so I know what I speak of. #WritingCommunity #askanagent

If you haven’t heard back from an agent after 3 months, would you consider it a pass?

I’ve gone down trad pub route for both poetry &novels as to me it offers best reach. societyofauthors.org/soa-member/m... But based on interviews we’ve shared through Write On! self-pub can work. My sense is that the reach is very much network &genre dependent -ie crime, romance, SFF etc

Are there literary agents or publishers here who like #cats? I'm just finishing my manuscript about a technical writer with ten cats (one for each dating app fail) who confronts a deadly coworker. #WritingCommunity #amquerying #askanagent #books #womensFiction #reading #wip #80Kwords #pitch

Okay trying something new: to make sure that I am still accessible as this site is still building up, I have added an #AskAnAgent section on my website. It now connects to retro spring, which I will use to answer questions periodically, and I’ll leave answers up.

#askanagent doesn’t seem to get a lot of traction but I’m going to try anyway.

Can I release a stand alone free as a magnet to gain readers before querying agents with a series in the same world? Or would the agent/publisher want it all (theoretically)?

Nosy #askanagent question for @jsinsheim.bsky.social: what's the longest non-SFF fiction debut you've ever agreed to rep?

Next step is to find the agents - hashtags like #MSWL (manuscript wish list) or #askanagent are useful ways to find out which agents are open to submissions and what they're interested at the moment. You can also check the bio of the agent and find their agency website for more leads.
