At what stage do you find yourself presenting new proposals to your publisher? (Concept idea, synopsis, sample chapters, full manuscript…)

What role does your agent play in helping set up your book projects? (Selecting manuscripts to focus on and pitch, etc) How would an agent steer you if your house does not like a project you and your agent were excited to do?

Is it worth going to the same publisher with new manuscripts if they’re consistently rejecting them?

Hi Carolyn! Unfortunately, due to last-minute difficulties, Lydia Kang is unable to present her topic. Carey Blankenship is presenting in her stead — feel free to ask her any questions you’d like about social media!
Thanks!

Nice work taking the stage! Social Media Part 2: Great that you could punt for the team and I appreciate you filling the space. I am very interested in SM and my largest issue is with the Amazon giant and the way they curtail engagement. I find that many people say they never see my posts that have my book or blog links. My friends and closest family members. It’s as if they have analytics to put up a wall against personal networking and this way they can promote their features for charging for ads. Not sure if I’m just paranoid, but it is something I’ve been very aware of on both my personal and author FB page. So far Instagram has not been as limited. What would you recommend by way of getting around some of these walls?

Do you consider sites like Goodreads, Amazon, and Wattpad to be social media nowadays? How valuable could have an active account with sites like Goodreads be for your writing platform?
