My heart breaks when I send those tough rejections. I'm sorry, but know that another agent will be better suited for you! #CLAQueries

A lot of tough query decisions today. There were so many I was back and forth with, but none piqued my interest quite enough. 😞 #CLAQueries

Remember that sometimes it's not because we don't like your query or writing, it's just that another would represent you better. #CLAQueries

It stinks for agents too when we get intrigued by certain queries, but just aren't sure we're the best to represent it. #CLAQueries

Remember that when querying, you should focus on ONE book. Don't try to query an entire series, as it will be difficult to sell! #CLAQueries

Don’t just throw in a diverse character into your query in order to “qualify” it for my list. #QueryFail #PubTip #CLAQueries

Librarians curate much in the same way agents do. Curious? Ask your librarian why some books are acquired and some aren't. #pubtip

This. Totally this. Thanks for the great #querytip @DanicaWinters ! twitter.com/danicawinters/…

Remember to pick your comp titles carefully. Popular, but not overly popular, and published within a year or two. #CLAQueries

Round your word count up/down so it's even. The exact word count looks awkward & leaves no room to edit #querytip

Just posted a #pubtip on the Greyhaus Literary Agency FB page. Work on that confidence!

Remember - for all queries - to include your genre, word count, title, and contact info! #querytip

#pubtip Find your voice. Don't copy the voice of another author.

Writers, when I talk about loving books that are "conversation starters" this is exactly what I mean: bsl.io/kEK #pubtip

I'm just going to leave this here for every single writer out there. Great, great advice. #CLAQueries terribleminds.com/ramble/2016/08…

Good morning, all! What's everyone up to so far? I'm working on emails and some queries. #pubtip Pls don't ask for feedback about your query

Yes! Do. Your. Research! #querytip

4-6. That way if there's consensus your ms needs work in some area you can tweak it without blowing through every agent. #querytip
