This is a great way to express how agents would think about a book pitch, and (as someone who's trying to develop her query) this is helping me to understand the boundaries a little bit better. There are some things that an agent truly "loves" and they will take something a little off in some cases due to that thing they really enjoy!
First, you can conduct a confidential survey to create conditions for employees to share comfortably, because there are many things https://poor-bunny.com that are not convenient to talk about in a meeting.
Kate, I so appreciate your drilling down. Btw, this week I found the perfect agent for me, and I've signed with her: Lisa Bankoff! Twelve agents read my ms before Lisa, including you (thank you!)

Love this Kate! How would we see a record of an agent's recent deals? On their website or is there a better space to research that?
These are cataloged (when reported by the agent or editor) on publishersmarketplace.com, which you can access with a subscription
Thanks!
Kate this was so insightful! I appreciate the peek into the process. Very helpful.
That's such a brilliant idea for a post!!
Hey Kate that adult novel is fab. Haven't you got a writer in-house who can run with it? Cuz if you don't, I know one who can : )
Thank you for this look at your thinking process—it makes perfect sense and suggests both care and thoughtful reasoning.
Great info! I love seeing what goes through an agent’s brain when reading submission!
