If I receive a submission addressed ‘Dear Sir’ from a male writer, am I allowed to reply ‘Dear Madam’? PLEASE.My agency is even named after me, so you’d think I’d not get approaches from writers who don’t know or can’t guess my name or gender but seemingly not. I can promise it is not a good look for the writer. #querytip

"As a concept this shows lots of promise but what is missing is the emotional aspect of the plot." I did the pitch surgery in this month's Mslexia magazine. Read my advice on this pitch for a Romantic Comedy novel #askagent #querytip #publishing #romcom

To repeat:#Writer: YOU DON'T NEED TO PAY TO SUBMIT YOUR WORK TO AGENTS. It won't help you. It won't get you submission to the top of the pile. It won't make an agent look more favourably on your book.
Go to an agent's website, click Submission Guidelines & do what it says.

Aspiring authors, please use your Twitter to talk about what you are writing, what you are reading. Cute pics & occasional offtopicness fine, but acting like a retweet bot for extremist politics, of any kind, is brainless #literaryagents #querytip

Writers, please please PLEASE do your research before submitting to publishers. Find out what the imprint publishes, who the editors are, use their names! Why do I have to spend time responding to unsuitable queries for non-fiction, sci-fi, etc. etc. #slushpilehell100% correct. #literaryagents too. #querytip
