If you get an offer, alert EVERYONE. I mean it. Everyone who has your query, even if they haven't gotten back to you or requested a full. You want as many people offering and giving you different takes on your career paths as you can. The offer week is illuminating.I cannot express how important this is. No, you wonβt annoy agents by alerting us you have an offer. Even if we havenβt gotten to your query. Or have had requested material for a bit. Please PLEASE tell us. #querytip

Literary Agent
Never apologize in your query letter. We know you're nervous about putting your words out there. (Though, promise, we agents aren't that scary.. mostly..) Starting out with an apology it doesn't inspire confidence. Be a badass when you hit send! #querytip #pubtip #amquerying

It's a new year and all that but I can guarantee the one thing that I will never be looking for in my inbox: vampires. #querytip #pubtip #antiMSWL #JustCallMeBuffy

Happy Last Day of #NaNoWriMo!
And remember, December 1 is not the day to query agents with your recently finished manuscript. Editing is important. #querytip #pubtip

Guys -- I'm looking for full-length works at this time. No stand-alone novellas, please! #querytip #pubtip #AmAgenting

Literary Agent
Guys. My personal work address is not where to send your queries. Queries go to QueryMe.online/1005 -- nowhere else. #querytip #pubtip

Literary Agent
Gentle reminder that agents are people too (yes, really). We can't rep everyone so please don't take your frustrations out on us. #querytip

Literary Agent
One of the biggest reasons I reject: not knowing your audience! If it's a MG story, it better be written for the MG audience. #querytip

Authors, I really don't care what your page count isβI care about your word count. Page counts can change with fonts. Words don't. #querytip

One more bit of advice this morning, #PitchWars. A lot of hopefuls want to know what phrases like "didn't connect" mean. I totally get it.THIS. There's a lot I read that I like but pass on. Doesn't mean it's a bad book! It just means I didn't have INSTALOVEMUSTBEMINE. #querytip

A word to the wise: things you say on the internet stay on the internet. Agents may look at your online behavior when offering. #querytip

Authors, if you know your wordcount is high for the genre... edit before querying! Don't tell us it could be split if needed. #querytip
