Cursing out one of the interns and calling them the C word when she asks you to revise and resubmit your query gets you flagged. #querytipDO NOT abuse the people trying to help you. No agency will ever want to work with you if this is how you treat people #querytip #amquerying

Please don't send me self pubbed manuscripts. It makes me sad I can't represent them. Send me your NEXT manuscript...unpublished. #querytipAlso when told they don't accept self-pub books, don't respond angrily/demand they read your pages. You ruin chance for next book #querytip
