Are you #amquerying? Tune into Print Run's special #query episode for some mega #pubtip action! itun.es/i6hQ9Lb

How do you measure a strong platform? Social media following, are you on TV, radio, do you have a newspaper column… #pubtip #askagent

We discuss real submitted queries, and talk about best practices and ways to get your pitch noticed #amquerying #pubtip #querytip #queries

It's not a requirement. But it's helpful when I'm reading a few in a row and want to remember why I req'd in the first place #querytip

#querytip Wait!! Is the agent's name correct? Did you include genre and word count? Does the agent rep that genre? Check before you send!

In honor of #NaNoWriMo2016 I'll focus on #craft and #inspiration tweets this month rather than #queries or #pubtip - happy writing y'all!

#Querytip - I want to see that you've done your research and know your readers. When we get to book proposal stage, you'll need this. 2/2

#Querytip - Who is your perfect reader? Don't tell me that your story is perfect for everyone, it shows a lack of focus of your market. 1/2

When offering rep I'm clear that I can't guarantee a sale. 100% ok to ask an offering agent, "what do we do if it doesn't sell?" #pubtip

The whole point of a query is to pique our interest & get us to request more -- not explain every detail." #querytip #amquerying
