I've been getting lots of YA queries lately. I'm definitely open to coming-of-age for adult audience, but no YA/MG/kidlit. #querytip

Let me take you behind the scenes of a literary agent's desk, and help you craft the perfect query! writersdigestshop.com/crafting-the-p… #querytip

Author friends, I know it's hard to tell sometimes, but plz make sure that the formatting for your query is legible. #amwriting #querytip

ICYMI I answered a few questions about queries that came from right here on good ol' Twitter dystel.com/2016/09/query-… #querytip

Authors: A query is your email to me introducing your book. It is not a notification you shared a file with me on dropbox. #querytip #pubtip

Great list! 👇👇 #askagent #querytip #slushpile

Today's #querytip: don't follow up on your query after 2 weeks. In fact, if guidelines ask you not to follow up, just don't! Tis pushy.

#querytip learning to take the hint is important. Don't get a reputation as that author who simply refuses to go away.

If you are querying a series or possible series, please query the first book. #querytip #amwriting

When querying agents, query one manuscript, not multiples within a day. #querytip

If you plan to reference the "research" you did about an agent's interests, be sure your statements are accurate #querytip

#QueryFail = "buy my book here then call me if you want to represent me"

Don’t let your query give everything away. It should be exciting & engaging, but also a bit mysterious #querytip

Noticing a trend in my queries of calling stories "epic" bc they are very long. For me, epic fantasy is a specific subgenre. #querytip

BC it's questionable, I'll ask, why do you describe men as their profession w/ pronouns but women as "a female [profession]"..? #querytip

If you're writing #historical, do your research. Make sure names, expressions & slang were all actually used during the time period #pubtip
