How to write a compelling pitch for your query letter: bit.ly/1EtwZRs #querytip

#querytip don't ignore guidelines by sending to primary emails. Not cool to try and squeeze to the front of the line. #petpeeve

Also, while I'm in the #querytip mindset, it's not the role of an agent who passes on your query to suggest other agencies. That's your hw.

If you sign w/ agent, it's courtesy to withdraw your query rather than telling the other agents only when they pass/request. #querytip

Lots of Biblical end times devils and angels fantasy in my inbox right now. This has been done a LOT; you need a very fresh take. #querytip

#querytip You'd never start a cover letter or a request for a job interview with "Hi!" I'd advise taking the same approach to query letters.

"Dear Holy agent Alexander Slater...." I don't even have any advice for this. #querytip

When following-up on submissions use the same email trail. It helps agents find material faster. #pubtip

Always include a synopsis and your query/blurb when sending in any requested material. Grrrr. #querytip

Save your authorial abbreviations for later. Otherwise I'm replying the an, "R." or "D. [last name]"...because that's all I got. #querytip

Struggling to write your book proposal? Here are some tips: community.harlequin.com/showthread.php…

A query is one page, not 65.73 paragraphs about every character and their life story. #querytip

Also, authors, while I like learning about you, your query is for your book pitch & creds, not your inspiration for writing. #querytip

AUTHORS: PLEASE, please follow submission guidelines and do not query until your MS is 100% complete. #querytip

Also, query for one project at a time. One. Not two. One. Thank you. #querytip

Stop! Before sending that query, vet the agent. Read Writers Beware and follow @victoriastrauss = sfwa.org/other-resource… #pubtip

Want to avoid spelling errors? Read your query backwards. It's painful, but it works. #querytip #writetip
