There's something about query writing that makes people want to use super tiny font! So fun for my eyes! My tip, keep it 12pt or larger. #querytip

This is a first. In a 30 page submission it didn’t even get through the first chapter.

Chapter breaks are your friend

If your query to me is a mass email with a ton of bcc'd agents, you're not even getting a form rejection. #querytip

Authors: Always make sure the manuscript you're submitting is the most complete and polished version you have. No comments in the document, no Track Changes. (It happens more often than you think.) #pubtip

Reminder that replying rudely to a pass is never effective! #querytip

When you speak to an agent's client before querying them, be sure to clarify if they're actually giving you a referral or if they're speaking positively about their experiences with the agent. I take client referrals seriously, so please note that I do verify with them. #querytip

I really really really don't represent screenplays. #querytip

Writers, keep in mind that publishing is a very small world. Just as in any other business, our friends (and sometimes family & significant others) are coworkers, colleagues, and sometimes competitors. #pubtip

FYI I'm reading partials/fulls from August right now. My query reading is caught up to mid-September. #querystats

I’m not saying these authors are doing that, but it happens. If you notify agents of your offer & they pass, don’t take that to mean the agent who offered is wrong, & that your project sucks. It could be as simple as a timing issue. 6/6 #amagenting #pubtip #amquerying

I might have offered on these projects but can’t keep 'em all. Keep this in mind when U get an offer. Only nudge agents if you’re prepared to take the offer. Don’t use it as a tool to get agents to read quickly. You might not like the results. 5/6 #amagenting #pubtip #amquerying

That’s not the case here. I don’t have the luxury of reading these projects & sitting on them while I decide if I’m in love or “in like.” To be real, I won’t have time to read 5 projects & get my client work done in such a short time frame. 4/6 #amagenting #pubtip #amquerying

While that’s exciting, because I have 5 gems in my pile, it’s also frustrating. Even if I love them, I can’t offer on all 5 at once. Normally, if there weren’t offers, I would have the time to space out my offers (assuming I love them). 3/6 #amagenting #pubtip #amquerying

There’s something special about October 10, 2018. I’m not sure what it is, but I know there has to be something. Over the past week & a half, FIVE authors have told me they’ve received offers of representation and need an answer by October 10. 2/6 #amagenting #pubtip #amquerying

-insult the agent in the query letter with a line you would CLEARLY not include in a note to a male agent
-send something that's already been published (self-published is already published) #pubtip

Writing is hard. Revisions are hard. Rejections are hard. But, you can do this. Because YOU are STRONG. #writers #amwriting #pubtip

I have five full manuscripts, one partial, and roughly 600-650 queries on my reading list right now. #querystats
