Dudes! If you are querying an agent you need to write a professional business letter to them. I seriously do not want to see a single other query that tells me about someone's adorable pet (unless it is the story). #querytip #agentrant #pubtip #amquerying

On today's Agent Monday post, meet fab Senior Literary Agent Stephen Fraser @fraserstephena of The Jennifer De Chiara Literary Agency! @JDLitAgency #Mondayblogs #pubtip #querytip #amquerying marielamba.wordpress.com/2019/04/15/age…

Writers, please read and follow guidelines. Mine clearly state that attachments are not accepted. If you don't get a reply to your query, that's why #querytip My guidelines: jdlit.com/marie-lamba

Welcome to our newest agents @JDLitAgency! #querytip #amquerying #amwriting

For fiction -- whether a children's picture book, a middle grade novel, a YA novel - don't write/pitch them as lessons for kids. This will = a swift rejection from me and most #literaryagents #amquerying #querytip #kidlit #amwriting @NJSCBWI

You guys, my guidelines can't be any clearer : No attachments with queries. If you query me with attachments, it will be deleted. Just deleted a ton of queries from writers who just aren't reading my guidelines. Frustrating. Guidelines here: jdlit.com/marie-lamba #querytip

#querytip: think of a query letter like a cover letter for a job. You wouldn't tell an employer about how cute your pets are or how much you love gardening, so why tell a #literaryagent these things if they aren't related to your manuscript? #amquerying

Writers, my submission guidelines are here: jdlit.com/marie-lamba #querytip #amwriting #pubtip

ONE THING I wish writers knew and followed: look up #literaryagent guidelines for each agent and FOLLOW THEM PLEASE! You'll see I'll delete attachments, & all the things I'm interested in and NOT interested in. Writers, your time is valuable too. Use it wisely! #querytip

What am I looking for as a #literaryagent ? Check out this interview...Thanks for having me again at Quick Brown Fox! quick-brown-fox-canada.blogspot.com/2017/04/interv… … @JDLitAgency @scbwi #kidlit #querytip #amwriting #amquerying #pubtip

Writers - please give your manuscript a fair chance and query me by following directions here: jdlit.com/marie-lamba I can't respond to queries sent to my twitter, FB, Linkedin or other emails -- those ones are deleted #amquerying #querytip #amwriting #pubtip

Here's some important must-know stuff if you are writing a middle grade novel... writersdigestshop.com/writing-and-se… @WritersDigest @CariLamba @JDLitAgency #kidlit #amwriting #amquerying #querytip #middlegrade #webinar #pubtip

Guys, if you can't put my name your query letter, which is a business letter after all, or you address it to Dear Sir or Madam, I, and every agent out there, will delete without reading it. It's that simple! #helpyourselves #querytip

My submission guidelines say I won't open attachments. Just got 3 more queries with attachments TODAY. They are deleted - not risking virus. Help yourselves writers and follow guidelines! #querytip #literaryagent

Yikes, writers! SO MANY queries addressed to different agent within the letter. Slow down and proofread before you hit send! #querytip
