The subtext and moral ambiguity of this show is on point, and what I look for in fiction. #QueryTip nybooks.com/daily/2016/04/…

Read your query aloud. If it comes across as ranting gibberish -- it probably is. #querytip

I have a thing for goblins. Think goblins a la LEGEND. #writingtips #querytip

.#Querytip Law #23: if you ask me to point you in the direction of another agent should I reject your work -- I won't do it. No explanation.

Except for gnomes and halflings. I hate their portrayal in SF/F, save in Dragonlance. They bring a 99.99% chance of auto-reject. #querytip

As much as I LOVE Mary Shelley's FRANKENSTEIN, it's a hard sell for me. It's nearly impossible to recreate or add to perfection. #querytip

Yes. For the love of baby squirrels, YES! #querytip #agenting #agenttip twitter.com/lzats/status/7…

In order to be a great writer you need to put your ego aside. #querytip #writetip #LIFEtip

Tailor your pitch/query to the agent/editor/talent scout, etc. If you're going to do something, do it well. #writetip #subtip #querytip

I don't care how old you are. I care how well you write. #querytip

Insulting a client in a query is a bad idea. I like my clients. I love their work. That's why they're my clients. You won't be. #querytip

Do not call an agent regarding your query or submission. We're busy working with clients, editors, conferences, contracts, etc. #querytip

Your query needs to be 1 page. One. Uno page. Page of one. There can only be one. #querytip #HighlandersQueryToo

Sending an agent a rude or off-the-cuff email is not the way to query and/or attain representation. Keep it professional. #querytip

Sending me five random pages without a query or even a mention of your name is an automatic rejection. You failed the first test. #querytip

Do. Not. query me w/ Star Wars spoilers! Why would u? I managed to avoid reading them, because I'm seeing it tomorrow. But why???? #querytip

Things slow around the holidays. Accept it. Use it. #querytip
