Just a reminder. I don’t rep memoirs. Unless your first name starts with Dave and ends with Grohl, I’m not the best agent for memoirs. Please be sure to research before querying. #querytip

#querytip save yourself the R and research agents you query. I don't rep straight adult fiction. Only SF/F, Romance & select historical

If 1st line of query disparages your chosen genre, I'm judging you the rest of the query. Disparaging doesn't make yours unique #querytip

#Querytip your query, like your pages should show me why I should want to read. Telling me that there's a hook on every page doesn't entice
