Read a bunch of MG subs the past few days & noticed a common element (in approx 50% of the books): begins w/ character moving to a new town.Something to think about if you're deciding where to start your MG story! 📝 #querytip #writetip

Writers, the struggle *is* the story. When querying, make clear what's at stake. #amwriting #querytip

Harry knows right away Voldemort is his parents' murderer. It's personal for him long before he knows what a problem Voldemort is.Yes! This is often missing in queries—the emotional motivation. The world is ending? COOL. What's happening at the personal level? #querytip

Writers: don't go against your own self interest: always query multiple agents, don't give exclusives. #querytip #agentlife
