A friendly #agent #querytip : plz query one manuscript at a time, do not attach a ton of files, and wait to send the full til we ask for it.

I'd add to this much of the YA fantasy I'm seeing is very derivative as well. #querytip

I deeply dislike it when writers use the word "forward" when they mean "foreword." And YES, I will reject a query just for that. #querytip

Getting a lot of queries lately for 80K+ (!) middle grade novels. Lovely queriers, that is almost always TOO LONG for MG. #querytip

.@kate_mckean holy cow!!! We just had this conversation. Everyone seems to think word counts don't matter. They do #pubtip #querytip

Guys? Shouldn't be a thing since we use a form for queries but DO NOT just send unsolicited dropbox links to my email. Thanks. #querytip

#CLAqueries Note: @CorvisieroLit is an agency where a "no from 1 is a no from all". Please don't sub again—to any agent—if we pass #querytip

#CLAqueries If you include multiple slashes in your genre explanation, you didn't do enough research. One genre, w/ elements. Done #querytip

#CLAqueries Please don't call your submission an "offering". It's not a sacrifice on the blood altar of the lit gods #querytip #amquerying 😂

You don’t need to use phrases like, “my #query will introduce you to…” #querytip

When an agent says what to include in a query, don't give it to us as a list! #querytip

If your SFF ms. involves a ton of jargon, I'm probably not your best agent. #querytip

If YOUR query is better than this, you at least have a chance of getting an agent. #querytip #agentlife

"Here are four novels for your consideration."

Ummmmm...smh #querytip

It should be noted that I don't rep SF/F so longer books aren't for me. #querytip

Even then, I'm going to wish it was 100k and if I sign it I would advise lots of chopping. #querytip

#querytip the only time I'd ever expect an exclusive on a MS is if I offered a R&R - and even then, there would be a time limit on it.

I'm a really tough sell for retellings. #mswl #querytip

For the love of all that is holy, name your .doc with your name and the name of your manuscript. #querytip

I'll be giving feedback on #PassorPages' winning entries! The genre is Adult SFF & submission window is March 13-15. #pubtip #querytip
