The best #querytip is to continue writing while/after querying. Keep writing. Plain and simple. Work on the next piece. Soldier on!

Probably a good idea to notify me if you have queried me before and are trying a new project with me. I remember names! #pubtip

#pubtip: SF/F, romance, and adventure are genres. YA, MG, and adult are categories.

#pubtip: you have a finite number of space in a query before you lose my attention. Do not waste time explaining what @QueryTracker is.

#pubtip: entitling your email "Risky Query" means that you know I'm not a good fit and are querying me anyways. This is a waste of time.

There’s no need to introduce yourself in a query. That’s what the bio is for, not to mention it takes up important “pitch” space. #querytip

If your character's name is Liz Bathory I'm going to assume she's super duper evil. Choose your names with purpose. #querytip #writingtips
