Authors: Please, please, please notify agents who have your query when you accept representation. #querytip

I echo this request. I’ve already deleted 5 queries that came in via social media, email, and via my website contact form and I’m not even open to queries. #querytip twitter.com/jemiscoe/statu…

I have incredible colleagues whose query inboxes will remain open. So please check out @kissedbyink @Literary_Tara and @JoleneHaley query guidelines and send them your incredible work. #querytip #amagenting #WritingCommunity

Not sure why I need to say this... again... but please, for the love of God, stop sending me manuscripts romanticizing and hero-worshipping racists & bigotry. #amagenting #querytip

This is an awesome interview, @agentsaba!!

Attention writing authors, feast your eye holes on this! 👇🏽 #querytip #pubtip #pocinpub

- Please don’t send queries thru my email. They are automatically deleted.
- Please don’t send queries thru my social media inboxes. They are automatically deleted.
- Please don’t send queries thru my website contact form. Guess what? THEY’RE AUTOMATICALLY DELETED! #querytip

#querytip Include comps in your query but avoid using huge titles like Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, or Six of Crows. Instead, tell us how your book’s voice or themes will appeal to the audiences of those titles.

Authors: If you sign with an agency and have your query out to other agents, remember to pull the submission from those agents who still have it. #querytip

Your query should be written by you, not your dog. Even if it IS their story. #justsayin #querytip

Your work may not be a good fit for my list or for our agency as a whole, that doesn’t mean it’s not publishable. Find the agent that really connects with the work & wants to champion it. Don’t re-query me with the same project I’ve already passed on. #querytip

Is your inciting incident clearly evident in your synopsis if it doesn’t happen within the initial 5-page sample? #querytip

A #querytip thread as I go through queries, and submissions today:
Your synopsis should show the beats of your plot. It is not a longer version of your query letter & should contain paragraphs (not just one block of text).

Make sure it’s engaging to read as well.

I will say it again and put you on blast this time, DO NOT MASS EMAIL AGENTS your unsolicited query, JERRY! It is an automatic delete! #querytip

ANNOUNCEMENT: In order to get through the many queries and submissions from clients, I will be closing my query inbox starting Sept. 15th. #querytip #teamcorvisiero

Fantastic thread for full of great #querytip tweets from @CortneyRadocaj.

Authors: Please do NOT send your #query to my inbox. All queries must come through QueryManager. I delete all queries in my email. For your sake, and those who want to read your words, follow submission guidelines! #querytip

#querytip I’ve just deleted several queries in my email without reading any of them. Please follow submission guidelines. I don’t accept queries via email but am happy to receive them via QM: QueryMe.Online/Saritza

If your prologue is the length of your sample pages, perhaps rethink its need to be a prologue and not Chapter 1. Or pepper the backstory throughout the work instead. #querytip

So send them to me. Especially if they’re dark 🧚‍♂️! #amquerying #querytip
