I have a friend who has a YA manuscript ready to go on sub to agents. Most agents don’t ask for a synopsis but a few do, but they don’t define what length or scope for that synopsis. Agents, what say you? Are we talking 3-5 paragraphs or 3-5 pages, here? #literaryagents #askanagent #fictionwriting

#AskAnAgent #PitchDis I've written and edited a novel (adult, mystery 95k) intended to be the first in a series, but no positive responses to my queries. I'd planned and started book 2, but... Is there any point in writing more if there's no interest in my style/characters?
