#CLAqueries Subbing a synopsis is necessary, even if it's not well written. We need to know the progression and ending (1/2) #querytip

#querytip: Include query letter in body of your email, not as an attachment. Agents may not open an attachment from someone they don't know!

Keep track of who you have already queried. I'm surprised how many duplicate queries I've received. Isn't one rejection enough? #querytip

#querytip an angry inquiry asking why the hell I haven't gotten back to you a month after submitting your MS won't score you any points

No no no no. You don't query me and say "if you want to know more about this book, email me." That's not how it works. #pubtip

This! You can research & find our info. Query through the appropriate channels, not on Twitter #mswl #querytip #amquerying

#QueryTip Maybe don't call your email a "pre-submission" and address it "dear Sirs".

Writers! Your genre is NOT "general fiction." #pubtip

When querying, please remember to follow submission guidelines! #mswl #querytip triadaus.com/agents.html Thanks!

#PubTip: Don't reply to unrelated, non-MSWL tweets by agents/editors with pitches/buy-links for your projects. It doesn't get us interested.

A rejection from an editor is generally a rejection of a project, not an author. Don't shy away from submitting a new manuscript. #pubtip

Watch my "process" in all its glory! #querytip #querywin #query #amquerying (that was a lot of hashtags!)

When you query me, don't start with questions, especially not with 'have you ever wondered?' No, I haven't. PASS. #querytip #agentlife

It's an automatic PASS when writers in their query tell me that "John Doe" recommended me, but I have no idea who that is. #querytip

What makes me decide to request or reject a manuscript? I just know. #querytip kelly-vansant.squarespace.com/blog

.@wendyqualls I get that a lot. Act like a girl scout when querying. Be Prepared for a quick request, or don't bother querying #querytip

Again, be careful out there and always do your research. #AskAgent #querytip
