YOU decide who YOU would love to work with. Break through all the mystique, all the self praise, all the talk. #querywin #agentlife

Sure, I'll tell you how smart, brilliant, well-connected & successful I am (all true) 😎, but all agents will say that. #querywin #agentlife

My advice to writers: ask a few surprising, unexpected questions to help YOU decide if you can imagine working w/ me. #querywin #agentlife

Then the potential client asks questions. They're always the same questions. S.b. must have written a ? spreadsheet. #querywin #agentlife

When I call, I will also "interview" them,do I like how the potential client thinks,could I imagine working with them? #querywin #agentlife

I call right away, because I am under the spell of the manuscript. I want it, I want the author, my enthusiasm is high. #querywin #agentlife

Usually, I call right after I finish the novel. As I'm reading I've already figured out which editors to send this to. #querywin #agentlife

OK, time for Day 2 of what happens when I sign a new client. Today's topic: The Potential Client Call. #querywin #agentlife

Tomorrow's topic: The potential client call. #agentlife #querywin

reject it, OR until I am done. If I love it like a drug, I will call the writer right away. Usually no warning. #agentlife #querywin.

When I know I have some spare time to read, I will read. I will keep reading until I either don't like it anymore,#agentlife #querywin and

My personal quirk,that's how I am,& that will never change. If I love the query, I will immediately ask for the full. #agentlife #querywin

If you'd attached the full with your query, I'd be annoyed that you are presumptuous and would not want to read it. #agentlife #querywin

That's how MY brain works.If I were to start the partial & loved it,I'd get frustrated I can't read it all immediately. #agentlife #querywin

When you send me a query and sample pages, I will only read the query. If it intrigues me, I will ask for the full. #agentlife #querywin

Over the next few days I will share what it's like for me process wise when I sign a new client. #agentlife #querywin Today: query and full.

I've requested 7 manuscripts since Monday & am about to request 4 more. Talk about #querywin! You all are taking 2017 seriously. I love it!

Today I requested a manuscript that I gave notes on almost 6 months ago, and was thrilled to see back in my inbox. That's a #querywin!

What a good day for stories. Read a great MS this week and got some intriguing queries in my inbox. I quite like my job. :) #querywin

Both have smart sentences, characters behaving badly, and play with our ideas of what's real. But they're SO different. Very cool. #QueryWin
