This is your semi-regular reminder to remove "aspiring" from your bio. If you write, you're a writer! #PitchWars #QueryTip

Hey, quick #QueryTip: don't comment on how an agent looks in your query.

Writers, check your query for typos. There's no excuse for misspelling words (or names!) in something this short. #querytip #triadatip

#Querytip: don’t feel pressure to comp your book to something an agent already likes. Find the *right* comp--that tells us much more!

#QueryTip: keep track of your queries. We notice when you send things more than once.

It's important to use buzzwords correctly in your query. Character-driven is a big one I see misused frequently. #querytip

Writers: pick a font & stick to it. Only use italics/bold if stylistically correct. And for the love of god, NO COMIC SANS #querytip

Personalize your query with the agent’s name and why you’re querying them specifically (a wishlist item? A client?). #querytip #TriadaTip
