I've had multiple people lately go "well you never replied to say you'd respond by the date I gave!" And that's just not how things work? 🤔I always wonder where writers find these querying "guidelines" that suggest this is the way to do things. #querytip #amquerying

We're not super picky. It's just that the recipient needs to be able to find your manuscript after saving the document. #querytipThis is often overlooked in the many discussions about queries & submissions. An easy fix! ✨ Ok, that's all. Have a nice day. ✨ #querytip

The document name shouldn't be an agent's name, or an agency's name, or "first chapter of my book." #querytipWe're not super picky. It's just that the recipient needs to be able to find your manuscript after saving the document. #querytip

Friendly reminder: when you attach your manuscript (or a partial) to an email, that file name should be the title of your book. #querytipThe document name shouldn't be an agent's name, or an agency's name, or "first chapter of my book." #querytip

Harry knows right away Voldemort is his parents' murderer. It's personal for him long before he knows what a problem Voldemort is.Yes! This is often missing in queries—the emotional motivation. The world is ending? COOL. What's happening at the personal level? #querytip

You're welcome to ask questions, but I won't reveal any info that could possibly identify an author or MS title. #100QueriesAnd remember: any #querytip is often not the only reason I am passing or requesting material. I'm sharing what I can. #100Queries

Editing? Make sure your first 30 pages have internal conflict AND external conflict (common mistake in contemporary romance & YA). #pubtipYes!! You want agents to request the full MS, so make sure your opening pages hook the reader. #querytip #writetip twitter.com/saramegibow/st…
