#Querytip when you receive a rejection try to maintain a level of professionalism when writing a response (note: a response is not necessary). Insulting someone just shows that the agent made the right decision in rejecting you. #thinkfirst

#QueryTip When an agent has submission guidelines on their website, follow them and not something you read in a general guidebook.
