Laura Crockett ☕️ @LECrockett

I should NOT have to explain myself. The premise and/or the writing wasn't for me. You should have an agent that CLICKS from the start.

This. #Querytip #Agenttip

· 31 Aug 2016

The perfect query is a few paragraphs (3-4) and one page *only*. #querytip

· 23 Aug 2016

If an agent rejected the first book in a series, chances are they won't take on the second or third book.

Don't ask an agent to refer you to another agent if they pass. Do your own research. If you can't do it why should we? Just sayin' #querytip

Set mine aside to deal with Real Life. Sometimes Make Believe Life makes more sense. #amediting #amwritingfantasy twitter.com/TheTobiasAgenc…

Make believe has to make sense. Reality doesn't. #Querytip #Lifetip twitter.com/kyrrimar/statu…

@TheTobiasAgency Now it's time to do my agent homework for my niche MS that's ready and start thinking about it for my novel WIP!

Replying to @ajbenso

Yes! Do. Your. Research! #querytip

A.J. Benson @ajbenso

@TheTobiasAgency How many agents would you recommend querying at one time? #query tips

Replying to @ajbenso

4-6. That way if there's consensus your ms needs work in some area you can tweak it without blowing through every agent. #querytip

@TheTobiasAgency @CyaniBlack While we're on the topic, are repeat queries after a year and significant changes advisable?

Replying to @ThunderJon

If there's been major overhauls - so it's basically a new book - then it's fine. Otherwise you get 1 shot. #querytip

· 9 Aug 2016

Keep your query concise. One page maximum. 3-4 paragraphs is the perfect length. #querytip

Cyani Black @CyaniBlack

@TheTobiasAgency @LaneHeymont That's also a great place to track if an agent's response was positive, negative, friendly or not so much.

True! #querytip twitter.com/cyaniblack/sta…

Danica Winters @DanicaWinters

@TheTobiasAgency yep, I use a form with built in questions so it's the same info for every project.

Track your characters! Thanks to client @DanicaWinters for this great #querytip ! twitter.com/danicawinters/…

· 8 Aug 2016

Keep a spreadsheet of agents you query so you don't query them again should they pass. Or query them four times in 5 minutes #querytip
