Please. Don't query me after you already have offers. This is SO RUDE. Both to the offering agents AND to me.

Banner day for rude query-ers. Remind me, have I ever tweeted before about whether it's a good idea to be hateful when you get a pass??? 😒

Replying to @sharongracepjs

(Yes. I have. More than once.)

(Queryiers? I'm never sure.)

(Be nice, not rude [and many of you are nice! Keep it up!])

"They fall in love" is not a romance novel plot. That's the minimum requirement. Plot = how that happens against all odds. #pubtip

Romance writers, please take note. #pubtip twitter.com/EmilyRodmell/s…

Queries that are from the perspective of the character just don't work. #querytip

don't begin your letter by explaining that you couldn't query the agent you *actually* want b/c they're closed to queries. #querytip #why

Keep word count in mind before you query. Is your word count high? Do you need to trim? More info here: christaheschke.blogspot.com/p/writing-for-… #querytip
