Memoirists, your pitch must include your story, much like in a fiction query. You can't just say, "I wrote a memoir about X." #querytip

Remember, your email account is part of your 1st impression. A spiritual self-help from brosb4hoes420@yourmom.com isn't promising #querytip

I recommend creating a new email account specifically for your submissions and the business of your writing. #querytip
