When querying, KNOW what genre your book fits into! You might think it's difficult to determine, but it's not. #querytip

"Stop what you are doing and request my book - it's the best thing you'll see all year." = don't do this. Just sayin' #agenting #pubtip

Remember, even though there's a lot of 'no' in publishing it only takes one 'yes.' #pubtip

Not the best idea to include in your Q that you've had no interest on other Qs sent.
#pubtip

"I'm not really sure how to do this and this query probably isn't good..." = don't open any query like this. #agenting #queries #pubtip

When sending pages in a Q, don't send a scene in the middle of the ms. Send the opening pages. #pubtip

Friendly reminder: always hit Accept --> Accept All Changes before sending your work. Or we may just see your CP's edits. :) #PubTip

Queries w/attached author photos freak me out 99% of the time. Don't do this unless you look like Channing Tatum shirtless #QueryTip #PubTip

Gmail is a good email service to use. Choose one that is as secure as possible. Sending spam to agents/publishers stinks. I know. #querytip

Bonus #querytip: "fiction novel" is redundant

A #querytip worth repeating: don't forget to include genre and word count. Too easily overlooked! Don't overlook it!

Want a new publisher? Check your contract termination clause before you start querying agents to rep your published book. #querytip

Please don't send queries via Google Drive. #pubtip

It's okay if you don't have any writing credits, but there's no need to tell us that. Focus on ur book, not what you haven't done. #querytip

please don't tell me that you don't know how to categorize your novel. It just makes me sigh wearily #querytip

Do NOT wait until an agent requests it to write your synopsis. Synopses will attempt to foil you at every step, so have 1 ready! #querytip
