Please be gentle with literary agents, and please don't take it personally if agents pass with a form letter. Personalized passes take a lot of time, and so many agents are already stretched so thin. #querytip #amquerying #amwriting

Remember to tell a little about you in your query and include any relevant writing experience. It's 100% okay if you haven't published anywhere yet, but we love to hear if you're a member of SCBWI, have published in your college magazine, etc. We want to know you! #querytip

#querytip Know your comparable titles. When I see that you can't think of any books like yours, it makes me think you don't understand how your book fits into the market. This is a red flag.
