I’ve been seeing a lot of questions in query letters recently (What would you do if, Have you ever, etc.). Don’t do this. #querytip

Don’t tell me to scroll down in a query letter. I won’t. #querytip

Please only query one book at a time. I’m not fooled if you send four different emails in a row, btw #querytip
