Would like to clarify, I don't hate werewolves, vampires, or dystopian. I'm just not looking for them right now. #askagent #querytip

Spellcheck your ms! If I see more than 2 major errors in the first couple pages, I pass. Don't have time to proofread. #queryfail #querytip

Pls only 1 sub at a time. Can let me know you have more, but to be fair to others in my queue, I do not consider multiple subs. #querytip

Personal info as reason you queried me, although sweet (or creepy), comes off unprofessional. Don't do this with other agents. #querytip

I do prefer authors follow my sub guidelines, but I can spot an honest mistake and don't hold it against you. Just do your best. #querytip

No need to offer an exclusive on a full request. It's not expected (unless an R&R) and usually is unwanted pressure on our time. #querytip

Seeing a lot of present-tense POVs. Make sure this is conscious choice for the narrative as it rarely works if not. #writetip #querytip

Love it when a submission intrigues me and the author has a great website, so I can totally stalk them. #querytip #askagent #writetip

Prefer ms subs without any front matter (quotes, TOC, cover page etc) in the way of the first sentence. Want to get right to it. #querytip
