By day I'm a literary agent in NYC. By night I'm the QueryShark. My favorite color is fuchsia. I love maps, vivid words, and twisty plot lines.

NYC of course

        It is truly disappointing to see just how many writers actually do not read or research what they are commenting about using such inflammatory accusations.

        It doesn't sit right with many ppl bc being an author is a job/career. And with any career, you ask workers about their jobs and workplacr before you apply. Most ppl do, anyway. Why should it differ here?

        It's the difference between preparing questions for your interview versus emailing everyone on the team you'd be working with and asking for dirt on their employer.

        Here's my issue with it though. How is it any less awkward to be asked by someone you don't know what your agent is like to work with after they've been offered representation? Is it because you can then verify with your agent that they have been before answering them?

        THIS. It's literally business. I have seen several authors switch agents (all leaving the same agent), and I wonder if something is wrong with that agent or something. Why did they all leave? I've never asked, but it did make me wonder about even querying them.

        sensible due diligence is research on what someone is like to work with. you then use that information to decide if you would even consider approaching them. doing a pitch, recieving an offer, & THEN discovering you don’t feel comfortable with the agent is the wrong way round

        Jfc an employer can only check the references given to them they don’t get to go through someone’s facebook to ask whoever they want about the person.

        But if that employer knows someone who knows the person they're considering, are you trying to say that they would never ask them "what are they like?" Also, they may not contact people via FB, but they DO look at it to aid their decision, which is basically spying on them.

        But you said "gotten an offer or even queried." If I'm going to query, I need to make sure I'm picking the right agent first. Maybe you meant "been queried by." If you didn't mean that, though, then, well, the writer's gotta research first, right?

        But we don't query one agent. We query tens at least. I do search first in terms of do they rep my genre, do they have a decent sales record etc. I'm only going to research what they are like to work with once working with them is a realistic possibility - i.e. they offer.
