McIntosh & Otis

Plz always let agents you've queried know if you have an offer of rep! It's sad learning the MS we stayed up reading is now rep'd #querytip

Most agencies (including us!) ask that you only query one agent per agency. You have several options here so please choose wisely! #querytip

This goes for submitting to agents as well! #querytip twitter.com/EmilyRodmell/s…

Please don't do these things: bit.ly/1OaQGjo #querytip #tooclosetohome

If you receive and/or accept an offer of representation, it's best to inform all the agents still considering your work! #querytip

#Querytip - It's helpful to keep all correspondence in the same email chain. Just reply and change the subj line re: requests, offers, etc!

The term "fictional novel" should not be in your query as it is redundant. By definition, a novel is a work of fiction! #querytip

What's the difference between a query letter and a synopsis? @ShiraSHoffman gives you the low down here: bit.ly/1CAbIkx #querytip

While we enjoy a laugh, please proofread! Big difference between finding oneself in danger and finding oneself in dander... #querytip

UPDATE:In conjunction with our move, we are now only accepting queries via carrier pigeon, smoke signal, or synchronized swimming. #querytip

#querytip: Don't drink and query. Also, happy St. Patrick's Day!

#querytip: Follow the guidelines! Every agency is different and it is easier for agents to consider a MS that has been properly submitted.

#querytip: Strive for originality! lindsayribar.tumblr.com/post/103578580… #querypoem

#QueryTip: Please follow all of our query guidelines (mcintoshandotis.com/submissions/) and submit only to the agent who best fits your book!

#Querytip: spell-check your query materials! Just read a query whose author is on Facebook and "Titter." #publishing #TypoTuesday
