Louder for the people in the back. Seriously. Guys. Let agents know even if we only have your query. #querytip

Authors: if querying a series, don't write beyond book 1! Know your series arc BUT start on the next unrelated project! #pubtip #querytip

Guys? Shouldn't be a thing since we use a form for queries but DO NOT just send unsolicited dropbox links to my email. Thanks. #querytip

Authors. I beg of you. Do not write your query as if your main character were sending it. It's really not as cute as you think. #querytip

Guys, I’ve gotten a lot of “do you like this pitch?” or “can I query you?” tweets lately. Please don’t! Just query me. #pubtip #querytip

A VERY important read -- especially since I've noticed a lot of queries with astronomically high word counts lately. #querytip #pubtip

Authors: A query is your email to me introducing your book. It is not a notification you shared a file with me on dropbox. #querytip #pubtip

Pro Tip: do not have a business manager send your queries. If you wrote the book, you send the query. #querytip #pubtip

I maintain: vague phrases in queries are one of my biggest pet peeves. "An unexpected decision." BUT WHAT IS IT?! #querytip #amagenting

Hey guys! Tiny glitch last night on QueryManager — definitely not closed to queries! #querytip #pubtip #amagenting

We're testing out a new query system at #BookEnds! So for all your query needs, find me here: querymanager.com/query/1005 #querytip #mg #ya #a

Once it's completely polished to the best of your ability. Agents want complete manuscripts! #querytip #pubtip twitter.com/Ginroukaze/sta…

Authors! Send your own queries. Do not have someone do it on your behalf. I want to work with YOU! #querytip #pubtip

Oh hey! My Agent Q&A with @KirkusReviews was posted. \o/ Complete with #querytip(s) & #pubtip(s)! kirkusreviews.com/features/moe-f…

Really REALLY not a fan of queries written as if the MC is sending it to me. I want to hear from YOU! #querytip

Authors! I don't take pitches or links to your books via Twitter. Please submit via the usual channels. Thanks! #querytip #pubtip

Authors! Gentle reminder that unless I request materials, I do not open attachments! Always check submission guidelines. #querytip #pubtip

Guys, as much as I'd love to, I simply cannot provide feedback on why I passed on your query. #querytip #pubtip #BusyAgentDays

Authors! Peer feedback on your query can be helpful. BUT! Having someone ELSE write/send queries for you is a red flag. #querytip #pubtip

I so love when authors can get their queries so full of voice without sounding like they're trying too hard. #querytip
