(3 cont) Maybe I've tried to sell something like it recently and couldn't! I do sometimes have to say no to projects I might like!A #querywin pitches me a book that I see I have the potential to love. I HAVE to love a ms to take it on, and you HAVE to have me love it!

Your query is my first impression of your writing! If not thoughtfully, carefully well-written, what impression does it give of your book?It's always a #querywin when I am desperate to read more: the polished query has really deliberately sold the book to me!

There are GREAT resources online about the range of word counts for each genre. Check them out before you hit send! #querytipMy favorite #querywin moments always start with a genre that's on my rep list and a word count in that genre's sweet spot.
