About once every three days, I get a query that talks about the books/authors I "publish". -_- #notapublisher #doyourreseach #pubtip

The only two things that really, truly result in automatic rejection of a query are: not complete book or wrong genre. #queries #pubtip

"Here are the first three pages of my book" does not a #query make. Take a little time and tell me something interesting! #pubtip

Time for another #pubtip! Always doublecheck any information about an agent's interests with a primary source. Don't trust 3rd party sites.
