Who wants some free advice from a lit agent? You? Yeah!

The editor I submitted to died. What to do?

When do you put in a word for the connection and when is the connection so weak it's embarrassing?

If I land an agent but go shopping around for another but don't land another, can I expect that agent to still be there when I come crawling back?

How many spaces should follow a period? (seriously).

Is it rude when my agent and editor talk to other agents and editors about my book?

Should I try to look up stuff on my own before I ask a busy literary agent basic questions about manuscript formatting?
