Consistently surprised how often new authors open their novels with a dream. Risk jerking the pace around upon wake up. #writetip #querytip

Know where your book lands on the shelf. Telling me it's genreless or too unique just means you don't know your audience.#querytip #askagent

Please only one submission at a time. Sending me every project you've ever written at once will not help your case. #queryfail #querytip

When submitting magical realism, make sure you understand the genre and that it actually is magical realism. #askagent #pubtip #querytip

Received query w/out website and google shows up nothing on the author name. Makes me wary to reach out to this author. #askagent #querytip

Send me mass email query once, shame on you. Send me mass email query twice, pretending recipients asked for more -> junk mail. #querytip

See a lot of gimmicky subs. Tends to cloud the point or overcompensates, especially in fiction. Be clean and concise. #askagent #querytip

If you leave the "Fwd" in the subject line, it seems you aren't actually interested in me specifically to be your agent. #askagent #querytip

When you send your full, make sure it's titled with novel title and last name so I don't lose who it belongs to. #askagent #querytip
