Rich Ochoa Author :

Thank you for this. Other than representation, what can they offer?

Nour al-Remal :

first of all, it’s so hard to get a literary agent and then you’re telling me to play games with them

Elaine Buckner ☽📖 :

Most agents use QueryManager now. If you have a full request with someone, you can update with a button and they’ll be notified with their messages.

Raven D'nai Diamond :

Devils advocate here couldn’t you just say you have an offer without having an offer?

Mimi 📚 ✍️ :

Saving this great advice because I’m gullible. I’m delusional enough to think I will get an offer whilst not even having a first draft done.

Vulthur :

useful information :)... personally I'd just be saying no. but I see no value in trad publishing.

BrokenCrownThriller :

Can I tell them that they expect to hear from me in 8-12 weeks, but if they don’t then it’s a No? 🤔😅

Stuart Hendry :

I tried to be like oh I'll think about it... But I burst out laughing and accepted straight away. I guess it depends on the agent and agency if you wanna play games like this 😂

Fantasy Author :
