This manuscript is so freaking disturbing and hits an emotional note I haven't seen before. But I can't stop thinking about it.#QueryWin 2/2

Finally fell in love with a query for an MG! Full request! #querywin

Sometimes, just one sentence in, you know you'll want to request. #QueryWin

An #ownvoices YA historical fantasy featuring dark themes, pirates, a fierce heroine, and people of color? #querywin

It is hard to hit all the right notes for me in contemporary, but this query does it! Couldn't request fast enough. #querywin!

Woah - query for a disabilities #ownvoice YA spy thriller that ends in a way that makes me need to know more. 100% a #QueryWin

Wow! Incredibly difficult subject matter in this query, but the first page was so beautiful, I can't NOT read more. #QueryWin #FirstPageWin

Today's #querywin?

"It's like The Night Circus by @erinmorgenstern combined with Labyrinth Lost by @zlikeinzorro."

Oh. My. Goodness. YES.

#querywin Space pirate heist story with high stakes? Yes, please!

An #ownvoices query with clearly defined stakes, exciting, fresh and recent comp titles and a strong voice -- I'd call this a #querywin!

This historical novel includes 1) A time period I love 2) Characters with REALLY big secrets. Yes! Request! #QueryWin

When a query makes you laugh out loud, you request it. #querywin

Tell me the next number in this sequence: 1 10 37 82 145 Query plus first 10 pages critique. #agentlife #querywin

The rest: offer, auction, sale, rejection is up to the publishing gods, the editors. #agentlife #TeamTriada 😎

If I cannot come up with at least ten, I won't sign the client to begin with. So now I go to my mental list of editors and query. #agentlife

When I read the manuscript originally, I visualized at least ten editors who would potentially love this project. #agentlife

Sometimes I run it by a colleague, sometimes I don't. It depends on how insecure I am about my phrasing. #agentlife

Once I 'm 100% sure that I cannot improve the manuscript any further, I put together a query letter. #agentlife

It's Day 5 of what happens when I sign a new client. Today's topic: Submission Time. #querywin #agentlife

Once that is all done, the client returns to their manuscript and gets it back to me when they think it's perfect. #agentlife #querywin
