The only queries I outright delete are the ones sent to me and 1000 other agents, visible in the CC field. #pubtip

Don't tell us "this is my first novel". It's not relevant and only stands to hurt you by appearing amateurish. #querytip

You spend so much time polishing your MS -- don't have it be for naught by forgetting to polish your query! #querytip

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 = check your audio rights. If you retain those rights, start shopping 'em cuz DANG we see some nice audio numbers. #agenting

#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.

#querytip Please make our job a little easier and remember to double space your submissions....

Assuming your first language is English, your query should not read like those spam emails from Nigeria, Bratislava, Russia, etc. #querytip

In order to write well (including how to write a proper query) you need to understand sentence structure and grammar. #querytip

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
