Pro Tip: do not have a business manager send your queries. If you wrote the book, you send the query. #querytip #pubtip

For agents too. Typos aren't the kiss of death for me, but, you know, they're unideal. #querytip twitter.com/SliceMagazine/…

Include your social media and website links in your query. Check the links to make sure they work before hitting send #querytip

Be careful about overstating the popularity of your website/blog. It's easy to check & can make you look dishonest or clueless #Querytip

No one judges work on word count alone. But there are expectations for every genre. #pubtip #PitchSlam

If you write suspense, you've got to do your research: more than just watching procedurals. Talk to people, read all you can. #pubtip

Aspiring authors: only create social media accounts prior to finding agent/pub if you can maintain them! #pubtip

If you do only one thing the week of your book release - make sure your author website is updated! #pubtip

#querytip unless told otherwise in guidelines, ALWAYS send pages with your query letter. It's all about the writing at the end of the day

It's important to know where your book would fit in a publisher's program and how it could expand on that very program. #pubtip

Submitting a query to a publishing house? Make sure you read what other books they're publishing in which programs. #pubtip
