If you resubmit after making significant edits, mention that! Don't let me see the query and think "didn't I answer this already?" #querytip

#querytip I also have a Potentials folder. So, if I say I finished a certain month, but you didn't get a response, ASK. Just in case.

#CLAqueries #querytip Please title your novels. It can be anything. Editors will probably change it. But it should not be "untitled".
