When reading a query I want to know who your character is and what they want. Also what is standing in their way? What will they have to do in order to overcome this obstacle? Is there a flaw they need to overcome? And what will happen if they don't reach their goal?

When I'm reading manuscripts I always want to see what does your character want vs what do they need in order to change.

These are usually different but try to make sure your MC (and even secondary ones) have both!

Authors, please try to not make your query letters too long (or short)!

The best ones I've received were usually under about 350 words and above 250.

I want to get to your sample as soon as possible, and I'm personally not a fast reader. 🙂📖 #querytip

On a side note, I read every single submission that comes my way so I do notice if the same project comes my way again! #amagenting #querytip

I know ppl are excited to send their work, but plz don't send the same project so soon after a rejection. If I reject something and then the same project is sent to me a week later, it's going to be very clear that not enough substantial changes were made #amagenting #querytip

Please, please, please DONT query more than one agent in an agency at a time. I don't like reading the same query more than once #querytip

Remember to not make your queries too long... I still need energy for the actual manuscript! #querytip
