How have you dealt with getting feedback that something isn’t working, agreeing that the thing isn’t working, but not knowing how to fix it? Or perhaps not agreeing with the agent’s suggestion on how to fix it?

Can you talk about the timeline of edits with the agent? Was it multiple rounds of edits? Did you have a deadline for completion?

Can you talk about your experience finding an agent? How did you know when in your writing process was the right time to get an agent, and how different was your manuscript at the time of finding an agent to what it became once it was published?

Do you get any say in what agencies the agent submits your book to?

You mentioned working on revisions with a book editor and it didn’t result in a book deal. How many revisions did you do with those editors before they decided to pass? Can it be a long process?

Do you seek out other feedback on your manuscripts before you send them to your editorial agent? If you have an agent who is not particularly editorial, what other tips do you have to get manuscripts ready for submission?

What advice would you give to a debut author looking for an agent or publisher?
Thank you! Sharing your experiences through the publishing process is a great help to me.

Will an agent look at your book if it’s already published with a micro-press such as Olympia Publishers? Do we need to break the contract?
Can we as authors query to have our books reach a larger publishing house?
Thanks,
Heather
