Writers ~ avoid unnecessary rejection. Read what agents represent (and DON"T represent) before you Q! #pubtip

Query pet peeve: when mss is quoted in the letter. Makes writer seem precious about the prose, suggests s/he won't revise. #querytip

Rule #17: Omit Needless Words. Strunk & White. #querytip
