OK! I've responded to all non-PitMad queries sent in March! Final #querystats have been updated here: penandparsley.com/blog/2017/4/2/…

#querytip asking me to swap out your original query with a newer, tighter version immediately tells me you didn't submit your best work.

#writetip #pubtip #querytip

Don’t start your #query with negatives or things you haven’t accomplished. Tell me about your work and your amazing book instead. #querytip

Grumpy #querytip reminder: when you get an offer, update other agents! A bummer to read and request something that's no longer available.

Check out @John_W_Bowers on @WritersDigest! Hope you’re all sending him your awesome queries. writersdigest.com/editor-blogs/g… #amquerying #querytip

#pubtip/#writingtip: watch out for character blocking. A lot of writers, even published ones, forget that characters can do more than look.

#QueryTip the more time you talk about the query letter in the query, the less time you're talking about your book.

When I reopen query me at QueryMe.Online/QueryQuressa. This will allow me to respond to all queries! Also it will keep me sane #querystats

So I'll be closing to queries on April 5th. I will participate in #DvPit & will be at conferences... #querystats

I also have 30+ fulIs to read. I want to be fair to everyone & to pick up the pace... #querystats

I am woefully behind on queries. I've received 400+ in Jan, 700+ in Feb, & 500+ in March. I have about 30 left in Jan to read. #querystats

Just received the most astonishingly racist SF novel query. Book purported to be anti-racist! Just. Check yr core concepts, guys. #querytip

Don't be too cutesy when you query. It may be mildly amusing, but off putting in the context of querying. #querytip #queryloss
