#QueryTip: Why you should NOT make your query stand out: sabasulaiman.com/#/blog/play_it…

K I think I speak for all agents when I say that we do not accept WhatsApp friend requests from querying authors. Because no. #querytip

My meme game is ON bit.ly/1z9E8ad

Check out @PubHub_blog for my take on why you don't want your query to stand out: publishing-hub.com/2015/04/query-… #querytip

Want to avoid spelling errors? Read your query backwards. It's painful, but it works. #querytip #writetip

Ok authors, please don't lie about word counts in your queries b/c it's impossible to get away with it. Also don't lie in general. #querytip

I mean I'll be charmed if you query me in Urdu, but you probably shouldn't. #querytip

Please apply the feedback you've been getting on your opening pages across your entire manuscript. Why wouldn't you? #querytip #writetip

Sometimes a query looks great, but I'm just not interested in it. That should be the easiest rejection to write, but it isn't. #querytip

Oh my goodness this query is pages and pages long, please don't do this PLEASE #queriesqueries #querytip

Here's a #YA #writetip: Try to avoid using the "Just kidding... not really" construction -- especially in your opening. #querytip

Please please please address the right agent. I know we all make mistakes, but this one's pretty hard to ignore. #querytip

You might want to spend less time complaining about agents and more time writing a fantastic book. #querytip

If you're querying a romance, I'd like to know about what drives both the protagonists, not just one of them. #querytip

I try not to make blanket statements when it comes to queries, but if your debut novel is over 200k words, I won't read it. #querytip
