A reminder to #amquerying writers: a vague, "spoiler-free" description of your plot isn't helpful. Agents wants to know what happens, so we can see how all the pieces fit together before we start reading! #MSWL #querytip

#querytip (1/2) I receive submissions with a lot of typos. It's not an automatic "no," but it tells me you haven't read before submitting...(2/2)...And if you don't want to read your work again, how can you convince others to read it once? #amquerying #querytip

"What do your characters want? Why do they want it? What's at stake if they don't get it?" #WDC17Know your genre! Check how Amazon categorizes your comp titles; it gives the agent a better idea of what to expect #amquerying #querytip

#querytip "I'll let the writing speak for itself" tells me you haven't bothered to try to describe your plot or come up with comps!

#querytip if you've submitted to a few agents, tell us when you receive an offer! Nobody likes requesting pages to hear they're unavailable

#querytip Writers, I remember your names! Please don't send a pitch for a different book after I rejected the 1st w/o acknowledgment
