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

I'm not interested in "typical." I want extraordinary. #pubtip

A video query? No. #pubtip

Even worse than that? Just emailing the first 3 pages w/out any covering note. Would be like walking into someone's home w/o invite. #pubtip

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

A gentle reminder re: e-mailed submissions: It's enormously helpful for e-reading when the file name = title + author name. #pubtip

#pubtip: copying and pasting the intro of your book does not a query letter make.

Great #pubtip advice from @esc_key on #pubtip advice you should ignore: ow.ly/yh2dS

Query pitched 3 books. I really liked one, but was meh on the other two, so I declined. Moral of the story: one project at a time! #pubtip

#pubtip: sometimes you need to hire an editor before you query. That is not a bad thing. BUT please don't lie & say you did when you didn't.

Whenever I'm critiquing mss my feedback always repeats itself: doesn't start in right place, dialogue is stiff, 1st page info dump #pubtip

I don't think you guys quite understand how lovely a well-crafted, rule-following query looks to me. #pubtip (2/2)

If you have not received a response to your query to our agency within 2 months, yes - send it again. Likely the spam filter ate it. #pubtip
