I don't respond to your query with "WOW THIS SUCKS!" so don't respond to me with "WOW YOU SURE WILL REGRET REJECTING THIS!" #pubtip

Meet Acquisitions Editor Mollie Turbeville #writingtip #PubTip #Inspy ow.ly/LOzz0

I love interacting with querying writers on Twitter. I really do. But please, please don't friend/connect w/ me on FB or LinkedIn. #pubtip

Send me a query with an attachment = auto reject. Why? I don't open emails w/ an attachment from anyone I don't know. #querytip #VirusesSuck

I periodically get queries that include a long explanation of why the person's prev. agent sucked. Eek. Seriously, DON'T DO THIS. #querytip

Submission guidelines aren't arbitrary. I use them for a reason and they apply to any one and every one who queries. #querytip

I don't accept queries via post. If I receive yours in the mail it goes in the recycling. Don't waste paper on an auto-rejection. #querytip

Please keep in mind publishing is a professional business and a small world. A rude and entitled attitude will only burn bridges. #pubtip
