#querytip If you are referred by someone, it is probably a good idea to explain the connection.

Remember, an offer is not a gift. Negotiate, negotiate, negotiate. #pubtip

60min webinar, 30min Q&A, plus a FIVE page critique of everyone's novel. #pubtip

I always wonder what happens when you request a manuscript and it never arrives. #querytip

Q: "In query, do I mention my novel has gone through beta reads?"
A: Yes if you want, but it's not a deal-maker or deal-breaker. #QueryTip

Don't quote from other rejections even if they sound somewhat complimentary or nice. #querytip

Agents are readers first. We read submissions as readers. Telling us the twist ruins the story for us. #querytip

If you can't entice readers without telling the twist or ending you need to rethink your book. #querytip.

No! No! NO! Don't ever tell me the twist or ending in the query. Save it for the synopsis. Your query is your cover copy. #querytip

Make sure your stories have hooks and selling points. Think about what makes you pick up a book and ensure your book has that. #pubtip

I receive a lot of submissions where the protagonist withholds key information, a device to create tension and suspense. #querytip (1/2)

I had 200+ Qs last week. The vast majority of passes were due to inappropriate word count for genre or genres I don't rep. #pubtip #homework

By querying a book you've already self-published, you're taking away a trad publisher's chance to break you out as a new author #querytip

Please remember to put the word "query" somewhere in your subject line or your email won't get sorted into the correct folder. #querytip

I want to like your revision and see that my feedback inspired you to elevate your work. If so, then maybe I'm the agent for you. #querytip

#querytip #revisingtip If you are striking out with your current query, try reworking the opening scene with a new inciting incident.

Never hit send right after you write “The End”. Reread it after a week or two, & you’ll find things that need editing or polishing #pubtip

It goes: write book, keep writing, write some more. Then edit, edit again, edit another time. Write again. Edit. THEN query. #pubtip
