Pub credits et al tell us what you're up to, or have been up to. What worlds are you active in? Has anyone heard of them? Are they related to the book you're querying? Will they help with promotion? #pubtip 2/3

i’ll be catching up over break and look forward to diving back in after the start of 2019! #amquerying #querytip

Please don't send me query letters that include lines like, "This promises to get the government's attention!" #querytip

Hey, writers! Just a note that I will not be sending any passes on queries until after the holidays. Hope you all have wonderful Decembers ahead of you! #amagenting #querytip

I’m working through #queries today and have noticed a number of people comping to Harry Potter, Twilight, etc. Gentle reminder that it is almost never a good idea to comp to a franchise of this size. Too often, this feels like an uninformed choice. #querytip #querytrenches

Adding to my Pinterest MSWL because THAT KIND OF NIGHT (pinterest.com/kaitlynjohnson…) #amagenting #querytip

When pitching around a book, it’s a good idea to have Chariots of Fire playing in the background, to make the experience nice and epic. #pubtip

We at BookEnds live by the 24-Hour Rule. Now we're sharing our tip with you! #pubtip youtu.be/-e5OiK8g2ho?a

hii 2018's almost over (!) so here's a roundup of some of the #writetip and #pubtip threads i made this year that have resonated the most, beginning with

the time i talked about battling your self-rejection demons (it's doable and i highly recommend it) twitter.com/agentsaba/stat…

Note: I am caught up on all queries to Nov 1. If you haven't received a response, check Spam or assume it's a pass. I've started tackling my submissions and maybe pile now! 😍 #amagenting #querytip

For me, I need a reason a “contemporary” book is set in the 80s or 90s. The 90s were almost 20 years ago. That means for a YA book teens today weren’t even alive then. (Or for 19-year-olds they were only 1) #SlushInsight #querytip

Great #pubtip

Catching up on queries for year-end, and seeing lots of pitches use suicide as a plot point/motivating factor for the protagonist. This gives me pause. If you're weaving suicide into your narrative, it's something I want to see dealt with carefully, in depth. #querytip

#QueryTip Unfortunately, I cannot accept queries or pitches via Twitter dm, but I welcome everyone to query me via email:

I hope to have the opportunity to consider your work!

An author needs to feel like *I* am the right match for them as much as I do. When I lose one, it does hurt (VERY much so!), but I'm glad they are confident in the direction they've chosen. I want the best for them+book, even if that best is not me. #askagent #querystats

#amquerying #querytip I really can’t sell a debut novel longer than 120k, even in adult SFF

Also, #querystats - I SIGNED 12 of these. I OFFERED representation on 14. Agents get rejections too!

I will be off on Christmas/New Year vacation Dec 14 5pm EST through Jan 6. Queries received in that time will receive a response by Jan 11 only if I want to read more. Details in my OOO message. #amquerying #querytip

Have a wonderful holiday season!

#querystats All queries have been answered. Check your junk mail or spam if you are missing a response

I am getting some inquiries as to why I'm a touch behind my #querystats goal of answering all q's w/in 6 weeks!
Rest assured I answer EVERY query in my querymanager.

I am currently working on queries from Oct.19th.

I got a query surge in Oct (YAY) But that's why I'm behind.
