I admit to being mind-boggled that some writers disdain a quick query response. Why is it better to be left waiting? #pubtip. #befuddled

Again, here's this #pubtip. Please do not complain if we reply swiftly to your query. It does not mean you weren't given true consideration.

#pubtip = In a query, take out as much backstory as possible. In a synopsis, leave it in.

So, if you query me directly, after we've passed, I will delete b/c have already seen your query and replied. #pubtip.

Much like my #pubtip yesterday, we're not saying this to be mean or disrespectful, but out of respect for your time and others querying us.

If we passed via the submissions@knightagency.net email, then don't turn around and query us again, or the agents individually, pls. #pubtip

An important #pubtip. A pass from our agency (and most) by submissions coordinator, or one agent, is a pass from the whole agency. 1/2

#querytip If you find yourself thinking, "I'll use this super FUN font!"...resist the impulse.

Here's why 2/2 #pubtip. It's literally impossible to provide that type of critique with the sheer volume of queries. We'd be yrs behind.

Morning #pubtip: if an agent passes on your query, please don't ask them, "what did you think of the concept?" Or for feedback or critique.

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