I found this great blog post on Twitter.

A whole bunch of agents give answers to questions like "
When you?ve responded to a writer to request a partial or full manuscript, what was it about their first pages that piqued your interest?"

Wow, thanks for posting it! I'm just about ready to query, and it was especially interesting to read the interviews with the agents who are at the top of my list.

Amy Trueblood is the woman behind that website. She has tons of other awesome posts, like the W.O.W. series. I follow her on Twitter to keep up with her latest blog posts. Great stuff!

Thanks for this! One of my goals for this year is to query agents with a YA/NA project, and some of my "wishlist" agents are in this post. Good to be able to see what they're looking for!
