Writer's Crutch: Is Your Character Dreaming? Wake Them Up marycmoore.com/index.php/2016… #writetip #pubtip #querytip #askagent

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

Some really great advice! #querytip twitter.com/lisaabellera/s…

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

Had an author get representation from Trident Media after taking this course with me! #querytip #askagent twitter.com/K_C_Associates…

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

Yes, sometimes a personal rejection is just a roundabout compliment, meant to encourage, not tear apart. #querytip twitter.com/brooke_warner/…

Status update: All caught up to queries through December 2nd. #querystats #submissions #slushpile #querytip https://t.co/v18pkd1Aly

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

Add having a dream or the character waking up to this list. #askagent #querytip #slushpile twitter.com/sangeeta_edito…

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
