Don't comp your YA contemporary to John Green. #querytip

Here at HarperOne, we talk about "visionary fiction” on a regular basis. harperone.hc.com/harperlegend/ #querytip #writersofthefuture

Blows me away that I still get mass query letters that aren't even in my genre, with all the info available out there. #queryfail #slushpile
