Telling me that you ‘forgive me’ for going to Duke in a query is not the way to my heart or head; just tell me about your book #pubtip

I suggest you avoid mocking my school when querying. I get it. You hate Duke, but it's not original. Tell me about your book. ;) #pubtip

Deep in the query pile today. FYI: No need for emailed head shots. I know that you're all gorgeous. #pubtip

Unless you're writing nonfiction, please don't throw stats at me in a pitch. I don't need to be told how popular romance is… #pubtip
