Read my client's ms for the 5th or 6th time now. Each time I read it, I love it even more. That's the kind of project I look for. #askagent

My latest post is now up on Relentless Writers-"A Manuscript Checkup: Are You Really Ready to Query?" relentlesswriters.blogspot.com/2016/01/a-manu… #askagent

Authors do your research for the appropriate agents as well as the appropriate way to query before you start querying #askagent #noshortcuts

telling me I’d be lucky if he’d ever query me again. To ensure my good luck, I blocked him. Permanently. 2/2 #askagent #bridgeburned

After passing on an unsolic blast query-I was one of the 650+ agents emailed-w/genre I don’t rep, author responded…1/2 #askagent

Though my agency bio says I'm closed, it's surprising the # of unsolic queries I get, esp w/projects it states I don’t represent. #askagent

For more on what to do after querying, here's my post w/Tips on Good Submission Etiquette ow.ly/WOMbW #querytip #askagent

Nudges are ok after 3-4 mos. Until then pls do not email req'g I confirm I recvd sub. I won't-no matter how many times you email. #askagent

Don’t bother w/special formatting or fonts on your ms. It’s a distraction from the most important part of your sub: the story. #askagent

The path to traditional publishing is a long one. Hope these authors see it's just one bump on that road & still keep going. #askagent

Had to make some tough choices on subs over the holidays but kudos to all those authors who put forth their hard work. #askagent
