#querytip know your Word Counts and what length is appropriate for which genre/demographic. Been getting a lot of sub-40K MG submissions as of late, which is a bit on the short side

#querytip You probably don't need more than 2 comps.

This is also a good #querytip thread of truth today. I see many of these writers over and over.

Huh. One email in the query slush pile is asking for an agent to...help sell their house. #oops #queryfail

And I love all you writers, but please please don’t ask for an initial phone call or in-person meeting to discuss your book/ query. I don’t have the time. Let’s stick to email for now. #etiquettefail #querytip

#querytip please don't query me with an unfinished novel - I can't evaluate what I cannot read, be prepared when you query, I love you

#pubtip = authors, there is one piece of publicity you can always control: Keep Your Author Website Updated!

There is no right or wrong amount of time to write a book in. Strive for whatever amount of time it takes for you to write a quality story. #pubtip

Hey writers, don't respond to a query rejection by sending your full manuscript. #querytip

#pubtip "How little do I have to write to still get a contract?" is never a question I enjoy answering as an agent.

Remember, publishing is a very small world. #pubtip

Editor @KaraLeighMille1 gives pointers on how to write a query letter. #WritingTip #WritersChat #PubTip #TuesdayTip ow.ly/nTcZ30e9Eei

Dear writers, don't start your query with telling me I need to sign an NDA before you can submit. Crazy. #querytip #pubtip #agentlife

Dear writers,don't query me with eight novels at the same time. Pick one. #querytip #pubtip #agentlife P.S. also don't query 8 within 24 hrs

In Q letters, please don't talk about yourself in third person. #pubtip

Part of revision is teasing out which bits you-the-writer needed but which do nothing for the reader. This is usually one of those. #pubtip

Authors,
Please know the difference between a publisher & an agent. Also, don't query w/ a book that's currently self-pubbed. Thx! #querytip

If you query & then get pub/rep offer, please tell us. Otherwise we may read it and possibly fall in love and then die of sadness #querytip

In short, please take out the prologue. We just skip over it. #querytip
