Dearest New Writers, it is with great love and best wishes for you that I strongly suggest some hesitation before adding "bestselling, award-winning" and other such super-duper-extra-fabulous (ahem, truth-stretching) superlatives to your bio. #querytip #authortip

8. Most writers don't sell their first book. I didn't. That's normal. Write the next book, edit it, polish it, query it. Keep going until your skill level is high enough to get an agent. Don't get stuck on one book like it's your only source of hope. Keep producing and learning.This whole thread is amazingly great, but I think this one in particular is something all authors would do well to follow. #querytip

#querytip --- as general rule, do NOT comment on an agent's appearance. It doesn't matter if you think it's a compliment. It doesn't matter if their picture spoke to you (whatever that means). #WritingCommunity #HowNotToQuery I really shouldn't have to say this. 🙄 #amquerying

Authors: Please do NOT send your #query to my inbox. All queries must come through QueryManager. I delete all queries in my email. For your sake, and those who want to read your words, follow submission guidelines! #querytip

#querystats I hit query 0 so all queries have been answered. Check your spam/junk if you haven't heard back.
I do have 14 requested manuscripts now to work through, and those go back to 1/15.

I have seen this so many times, I need to offer an impt #pubtip. If querying an agent who uses query manager.com, don't ignore their open categories.People keep querying me for fiction, selecting unrelated nonfiction topics. Do NOT do this. Here's why THREAD
Retweeting because it keeps happening, ie people using my nonfiction query form to submit novels...thanks all! #pubtip

Examples of reasons for rejection: voice, lack of craft, word count, derivative storyline, similarity to project already repping, unsaleable project in current market. 2/2 #pubtip

Just because an agent represents your genre, it doesn't mean your project is right for them for any number of reasons. 1/2 #pubtip

Dudes! If you are querying an agent you need to write a professional business letter to them. I seriously do not want to see a single other query that tells me about someone's adorable pet (unless it is the story). #querytip #agentrant #pubtip #amquerying
