#querytip Seeing lots with MC walking up with no memory of his/her death...

Reminder: @PSLiterary is closed to queries, just for the holidays, from Dec 22-Jan 5. No need to rush it, we're only closed 2 wks. #querytip

Not sure where to start with self promoting yourself as an author & your books? 6 things you can start today: bit.ly/1yx0M9I #pubtip

Was going to fave a #PitMad, then happened to see their negative comments about the industry. No fave now. Public posts are PUBLIC. #pubtip

I'm not seeing many #horror #pitmad submissions. Make sure you add hashtags for those of us searching for specific genres. #pubtip

Who's ready for #pitmad tomorrow? I am and will be monitoring pitches off and on all day #pubtip #mswl #amwriting

Querying a debut? No credentials/past pubs? Don't mention it. Really. "I have no platform" is worse than saying nothing/no bio. #querytip

There are still spots available for the workshop! docs.google.com/forms/d/16DDjq… #pitmad #pitchmas #justpitchit #pubtip

Self-deprecating humor rarely comes off well in a query letter #querytip

A query was sent to me as exclusive, not my idea. Please don't limit yourself this way. Esp considering it was sent to me in Oct #querytip

Proofread, don't spell-check, before you submit. I don't need your kelp with this problem. #pubtip

Please don't send us queries via snail mail. UPS won't help you either. We say email queries only and we hold to that rule.
