Do not review your novel in your query. Just tell me about your novel, let me decide how I feel about it #querytip

FYI: I am not the right agent for your Christian romance... #querytip

Part 2 of 4 in my series on Magical Realism is up on the blog now. What Magical Realism ISN'T: michellewittebooks.com/2015/08/what-m… #MSWL #querytip

Authors, if any of you struggle with pacing, here are some tips you might want to check out: carinapress.com/blog/2015/08/f… #writetip #pubtip

A query letter should be in the body of an email. Not sent as an attachment. #querytip

Don’t pitch me on Twitter. All the more so if you’re querying me anyway. I’ll just read it there. #querytip

In writing, voice is everything. #writetip #querytip

Sending just a sample of your writing is not a query. #querytip

A teardown + false statement about your genre tells 1) you don't respect the genre you write in & 2) you haven't read much in it #querytip

A note abt audience for YA: "crossover potential" is great, but your main selling point shldn't be "this YA will appeal to adults" #querytip

#querytip: Don't comment on agent's biography or appearance. My 1 exception: shared hometown or alma mater. See @jsinsheim's feed for more.

This is why submission guidelines exist. Do your research! #querytip twitter.com/lzats/status/6…

I implore you: please don't open with the weather. It may not = an automatic rejection but it puts you at an instant disadvantage. #querytip

Querying Advice: What to include in your author bio. Yes, you need one. mariavicente.com/post/101845409… #querytip #querying

For real, though, here's the best way to make an impression at a writers' conference: ow.ly/QqTQd #PubTip

YES! We accept queries from authors of all ages. Example= @Stefan_Bachmann was a teenager when he queried me: stefanbachmann.com #pubtip

Writers~when you send a Q, include the story. A pitch. What the story is about. Not what it is or isn't, or how good it is. Show me.#pubtip

YES! We accept queries from authors around the globe. @lokabrenna is in Australia for example: alisfranklin.com/about/ #pubtip

You all know that commenting on an agent's physical appearance in a query is not a good idea, right? #querytip
