Real talk right now #authors: if you submit a manuscript to a publisher (or agent) via an open call/website, it is CRUCIAL that you follow their criteria. It's step #1, the easiest part, and willfully ignoring guidelines is a waste of your time (and ours). #querytip #pubtip

Rule 1: Spell my name correctly. Rule 2: See below. Rule 3: Don't call me "Sir." #pubtip #querytip

We <3 series! If you have a plan to turn your #WIP into a series, let us know in your pitch letter! #AskAvonBks #NaNoWriMo #querytip

If we make the decision to pass on your manuscript, please do not call our office multiple times a day trying to change our minds. #querytip

If you've handwritten 700 pages of your manuscript, I'd suggest you digitize and probably revise before submitting to us. #querytip

Got a submission today that called me by a man's name in the query letter. In case there was any confusion, I am not man. #pubtip #querytip

Prob not a good idea to send a query letter that says your MS is over 500 pgs & "not that good." Be confident! And maybe revise? #querytip
