Read Query Shark. Befriend published authors & ask questions. Utilize critique partners, too! Every bit helps in finding an agent. #querytip

FYI: 80% of queries do not follow my guidelines. Some don't excite me. I am 1 person and with slush like mine, humor is how I get through itThis is why submission guidelines exist. Do your research! #querytip twitter.com/lzats/status/6…

Unless an agent asked for a R&R, it's best not to query again with the exact same MS you queried months ago. #querytip We remember them...

"Would you be interested in [x] genre?" as the email is NOT a query. #querytip http://t.co/JTqPlohp9A

Q244:Getting a lot of YA set in the 80/90s. Is the time necessary to the plot, or do you only want to write abt your teen years? #500queriesTime and setting are characters, too, so be VERY aware of this when you're querying. #querytip twitter.com/LZats/status/6…
