Does anyone know what are the pros and cons of having an agent who is based in UK?Alina Sergachovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08854955367675576927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-46771678535114037392020-05-16T03:00:24.396-04:002020-05-16T03:00:24.396-04:00I've always pondered that myself when I've...I've always pondered that myself when I've read deals. Great question <b>OP</b> - and good luck with your query.<br /><br /><b>Alina</b>, there is a Reider who has a UK agent, Sam Hawke. Back in <a href="http://jetreidliterary.blogspot.com/2016/10/wait-you-want-what-when.html" rel="nofollow">2016 she commented</a> she had a query letter for the UK, but compared to the US, the UK version was more like a cover letter to be read with the synopsis. To me this suggests there is a difference when querying the UK. I'm sure if you research the agents their websites will help clarify what you need to do.AJ Blythehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04529233142099749005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-2159919180256922162020-05-15T22:38:19.331-04:002020-05-15T22:38:19.331-04:00Alina I'm sorry, I don't know the answer t...<b>Alina</b> I'm sorry, I don't know the answer to that.Janet Reidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00615380335938685231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-91560070037956206182020-05-15T22:34:05.311-04:002020-05-15T22:34:05.311-04:00The agent of one of my favorite YA authors is base...The agent of one of my favorite YA authors is based in London.

She loved him. Only time I ever got a second date, and I didn't get to attend either one. I miss her sometimes, her witty repartee I always imagined. The cleft that might have adorned her chin. At least it's never awkward if I run into her on the street.<br /><br />Signing off, on behalf of John's brother.<br />John Davis Frainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18020019400599228492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-58309586534300562952020-05-15T11:28:12.653-04:002020-05-15T11:28:12.653-04:00Thanks for clearing that up for me!Thanks for clearing that up for me!RonChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10712933121864967735noreply@blogger.com
