Personal pet peeve, receiving mass e-mail queries address to "literary agent." It is an automatic delete. #querytip

I wonder why aspiring authors do not address a query letter to whom they are querying? It is an automatic delete for me. #querytip

Make sure the agent you are querying represents your genre. Please don't waste our time and yours. Who needs another rejection? #querytip
