@leehotline I read all of my own queries, addressed to me. #AskDLG

@jennfarrar7 @NobleValerie We are sold! #AskDLG

@AJFlowers86 Interested in the genres I represent no matter what. Have to love the pages. #AskDLG

@jennfarrar7 #AskDLG When I pass & writer responds, you should have read past that chapter for better stuff, this is too late 2 of 2

@evolym2infinity Keep it simple: introduce yourself, title, genre, word count, then brief pitch. Works for me. #AskDLG

First chapter has to be really engaging, has to hold attn. Sometimes this isn't the case and when we pass@jennfarrar7 #AskDLG 1 of 2

@jennfarrar7 @DonaghyLiterary common openings: Someone waking up, car crash, a classroom. #AskDLG

#AskDLG@jennfarrar7 @NobleValerie It is also not how many are sent but if you are sending to the right agents. Really research agents likes

@artyny59 For me, doesn't have to be romance. But you probably know that about me already. #AskDLG

Yes, Grab my attention, exciting plot info should be sold early = #hook #AskDLG@dougshiloh @sue_mill @NobleValerie

@jennfarrar7 @DonaghyLiterary That's tough. Some authors send 100's. It can take a long time to connect with the right agent. #AskDLG

@evolym2infinity Yes- Moving beyond what is already out there, really looking for different. #AskDLG

Sometimes I hate the query and love the pages. Sometimes I love the query and not so much the pages. I ALWAYS read the pages. #AskDLG

@evolym2infinity For me, yes. #AskDLG

@evolym2infinity you know, some things are saturated (say dystopian) so if you have something like that, it really has to stand out. #AskDLG

#AskDLG I have said this before & will share again. Agents are working hard at DLG to respond to queries current number in queue approx 1000

@evolym2infinity yes! Pay attention to word count. @LitRejections has a great guide on their website. #AskDLG

@aftenbrook I don't mind unsure. That's okay. Just be short and simple, a clear pitch, and 10 pages. #AskDLG
