Thanks for the response! So something in the bio like "I've also written a book about a roller derby robot, and a steampunk blacksmith" would be a plus (assuming neither of those has been subbed)?

Do you consider it a good thing when authors of novels briefly mention other manuscripts they have written besides the main one they're querying? Does it make it better/worse if one of the manuscripts has been on a submission round with a previous agent?

Is there any difference to how you should pitch a potential non-fiction themed series for children (e.g., books about this series of related topics)? Would you just leave the series bit out altogether or would the agent like to know? Thanks!

Cool! Mine is pretty much if those two had a baby, so thanks for the rad comps!

I wasn't aware of that one (I read Lightning Girl, though!). Based on the google preview, I'd say the tone is similar, but I didn't see any illustrations. Mine would feature multiple (simple comic style) illustrations (not by me) on every page.

I love this. Beautiful and classic.
