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

New query trend I've noticed lately: swearing off sex/men/women. Why is this so popular now? Thoughts? #amquerying #querytip #amwriting

"I saw your profile and thought, why not?"

Maybe don't do this in querying, dating, & just life.

#CLAqueries Be sure to have solid ages for your characters. "Youngish" or "twenty-something" can change how readers picture them #querytip

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unpublished.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
