Maybe he became part of it because he's a racist, misogynistic antisemite.

I'm afraid we will have plenty this winter.

Nope.

Every agent is going to be different. I'd say for me over 100K I'd want to get that count down if I took it on.

Query when their open is correct. Though some agencies may require agents to be open and maybe they would rather you wait...

But it's part of the job and most agents choose when to open.

But that really only works for strong sales and review numbers. So small sales/self pub can possibly hold you back.

Not sure there is a consensus. Romantasy and romance self-publishers are getting print deals and holding onto their digital rights if they have strong enough sales. Some self-pubs are going trad for next books and showing they have an audience already.

That's fine. I'm good with just getting straight to the query too. Every agent is different.
