If you don't belong to a critique group/writing club, wtf are you waiting for? Can't find one? START ONE! #amwriting #pubtip #querytip

Dear writers/illustrators: print this and hang it in every room of your home! #amwriting #pubtip #writingtips #querytips #querytip

Publishing, like life, is a journey, and no two paths are the same. Keep at it. Do the work. You'll get there. #querytip #pubtip #amwriting

Authors, it's in your best interest to tell us you have an offer of rep. Blood in the water attracts more agents = more choices. #querytip

Please don’t ask us to recommend other agents (we’re keeping tabs on editors’ wishlists, not agents’). Plus, #querytip #pubtips 4/5

Don’t ask for more info or a reason (we’ve already spent as much time as we can on your query). #querytip #pubtips 3/5

A form of thanks isn't necessary. We often won't respond. (It’s MUCH better to thank us in advance in the #query). #querytip #pubtips 2/5

If your mss is #ownvoices, make sure to say so in your query so we don't have to creep on your social media! #querytip #pubtip

Pretty please follow these formatting gyuidelines! #querytip #amwriting #pubtip

What is your character's "Part of Your World" ballad? Show us what they want so we can root for them to get it. #writingtips #querytip

Make your characters lovable, relatable, and root-for-able. If we don't care what happens to them, the plot doesn't matter. #querytip

If an agent passes on your query, sending your manuscript anyway is unlikely to change their mind. #querytip #writingtips

Today's #writingtip, #querytip: End pg 5, 10 and 50 w/ cliffhangers. That way, if agent asks for 1st 5 or 10 pgs w/ query... (1/2)

The subject line is your 1st chance to excite me about your project. Instead of just "query," include info like genre and title. #querytip

Do: your homework.
Don't: e-mail an agent and ask them general pub questions that are answered in 1.6 million places online.

1/2 Seymour Agency sub requirements mention not to send files but I've rec'd 3 just today. Please follow sub guidelines! #querytip
