Most agencies are closing to queries for the holidays. Take this time to refine your query, work on your hook, and research agents for the new year!

#amquerying #querytip #writerscommunity

Query Tip: Not so much a tip but thoughts. A bad query doesn't stop me from reading the submission. But, a good query gets me pumped to read the submission.
#amquerying #querytip #writerscommunity

#querytip: Be specific! So many queries are too vague and focus more on comps/tone/experience than the actual story. If I read your query and still don’t know what your project is about, I have no basis to request more. Not a bad idea to see if a cp can help before querying 😊

Welcome to the chat and I hope all is well! Great question! So many things have happened over the past few months but a trend I’m seeing in my inbox is more realistic fiction filled with hope and HEAs. #TheWritersZen

#QueryTip: Yall, I really don't consider queries over 100K words, I'm sorry! If you are an epic writer who's going into 100K+ territory, that's rad - but I'm not the agent for you! #WritingCommunity

It also means you shouldn't call them. Please don't call Literary Agents about submissions unless they ask you to. If you need to follow up, do so following submission guidelines or in the same way that you submitted your work. #querytip #WritingCommunity #amagenting #amwriting twitter.com/mcorvisiero/st…

Good question from a client about subrights this week.

#PubTip = when an agent offers representation, ask "what is your strategy with subrights?" (audio, translation, Hollywood) It differs among agents and it's a great question to ask!

Authors, if you are submitting your work to a Literary Agent for consideration, but they are closed to queries, it does not mean that you can e-mail them directly or pitch your book on social media. Please follow Submission Guidelines. #WritingCommunity #Querytip

It's that time of year. Fuse Literary is closed to new unsolicited submissions 12/1 - 1/15. If you have submitted, you'll hear from us soon. If not, we're looking forward to hearing from you in mid-January! fuseliterary.com/2020/12/01/ann… #amquerying #querytip

News: Remote school has done me in. I'm closing to submissions for the remainder 2020. Please try me in January 2021! #querytip #pubtip

#querytip Telling me your project is ready for submission (to editors) in your query letter signals to me that you aren't willing to do more editorial work on it. I'm an editorial agent, so this is a bad sign.

Quick #querytip, given a recent experience. When you receive an offer of rep, it's actually good practice to alert ALL agents who have the query, not just those who have the full. You do not need to give all the agents an opportunity to read, you can simply withdraw the query.

What am I supposed to do with this… #querytip

Query Tip: You don't have to respond back to an agent if they pass on your work. But if you do respond, a nasty email will not help you. Agents keep records and if you query us again with another project, we will remember.

And this is why it's so disappointing when a Q is fabulous & the story doesn't live up to that promise. We don't want to say "no." #pubtip 2/2

Every agent & editor is rooting for the writer to surprise & delight us when we're reading a submission #pubtip 1/2

I love some piping hot audacity in the morning! By which I mean I don’t; please don’t flout submission guidelines. #querytip

The moment you (a human) independently create an original work of authorship w/ some minimal degree of creativity AND the work is “fixed” in a tangible form of expression, copyright exists! I will talk abt originality & “fixity” in future tweets. Stay tuned! #publishing #pubtip
