We average 80-150 queries a day (30-40,000 per year) and I read them all myself (takes me about 30 minutes per day) #10queriesIn10tweets

We don't critique queries - when you have an agent you'll want that agent selling your books not critiquing queries. #10queriesIn10tweets

Remember that #10queriesIn10tweets is a high-level overview of query slush pile. ACCEPT means I ask for 30 pages to read more.
