Queriers, stop telling me what ur MC goes through. It's boring & lame. SHOW me. Be specific. Be concise. Focus on one or two MCs. #querytip

Query me with ONE project at a time. Pretend I am a goldfish and have a three-second attention span. #querytip

Ditto! #querytip twitter.com/jawlitagent/st…

Authors, don't do this. #querytip "Another book plagiarized by Laura Harner | Trout Nation" jennytrout.com/?p=9693

.#1 reason Ur Book was Rejected: the writing is crap. So research, hone your craft, and learn. #querytip Thx to @LZats 4 the reading tip!

Abso-LUTELEY! #querytip twitter.com/buckleykerri/s…

Rejection should not be the end. #querytip #subtip http://t.co/9s8IrjIxE3

Querying more than one agent at the same agency at the same time is a great way to end up in everyone's rejection pile. #querytip

Beware the written word. #agenting #querytip #writetip

Pelting agents and editors with tweets is not how to interact with them. #QueryTip #subtip #common_sense

Telling me your book sucks isn't a good idea. Just saying. #queryfail #QueryTip

Checking in on a full manuscript after a month or two is too soon. Three months is often the standard. #querytip

I'm not sure where it says I'm interested in YA -- I'm not saying I'm not -- but I'd like to see where this is. #querytip

Taking 15 years to write a book is not a badge of honor. So, don't treat it like one. #querytip

Living in fear is spiritual death. Live your life. Write that book. Love that person. Query that agent. Celebrate that rejection. #querytip

Again, CC'ing a dozen agents on your query is a no-no. Got it? #querytip #commonsensefail #SpamIsLame

Life is about attitude. Live yours. Love yours. Be brave. Write. #querytip http://t.co/RkWiXnvlSl

Query = 3 paragraphs, not 10. #querytip

Stop telling me what your book is about and start showing me. #querytip

If you're going to tout your writing and literature credentials in your query you should probably nail basic grammar. #querytip
