Don't worry what your writer friends are doing. Focus on your writing, your publisher, your team, your career, YOUR dream. #pubtip

The more typos & mistakes in your ms, the longer it takes your agent to read/edit it. Do a good proofread before sending, please! #PubTip

I admit to being mind-boggled that some writers disdain a quick query response. Why is it better to be left waiting? #pubtip. #befuddled
Literary Agent
Again, here's this #pubtip. Please do not complain if we reply swiftly to your query. It does not mean you weren't given true consideration.

#pubtip = In a query, take out as much backstory as possible. In a synopsis, leave it in.

So, if you query me directly, after we've passed, I will delete b/c have already seen your query and replied. #pubtip.

Much like my #pubtip yesterday, we're not saying this to be mean or disrespectful, but out of respect for your time and others querying us.
Literary Agent
If we passed via the submissions@knightagency.net email, then don't turn around and query us again, or the agents individually, pls. #pubtip
Literary Agent
An important #pubtip. A pass from our agency (and most) by submissions coordinator, or one agent, is a pass from the whole agency. 1/2

Here's why 2/2 #pubtip. It's literally impossible to provide that type of critique with the sheer volume of queries. We'd be yrs behind.
Literary Agent
Morning #pubtip: if an agent passes on your query, please don't ask them, "what did you think of the concept?" Or for feedback or critique.
Literary Agent
Don’t just throw in a diverse character into your query in order to “qualify” it for my list. #QueryFail #PubTip #CLAQueries

Librarians curate much in the same way agents do. Curious? Ask your librarian why some books are acquired and some aren't. #pubtip
