Lydia Sharp @lydia_sharp

I love clever language but not at the sake of losing clarity. Don't make me work to figure out what's being said or done on page. #writetip

Great advice from @lydia_sharp about clarity in your prose #amwriting #amediting #querytip

Brooding YA Hero @broodingYAhero

My white author made me a POC because diversity!
She also made me offensively stereotypical... because racism.

Guys THIS. I get so much of it in my submissions and I'd love to see less. #querytip

Kelly (Closed to Queries) @bookishchick

But there are so many great manuscripts waiting for me and I'm excited to devote my undivided attention to reading over the coming days!

I know PEOPLE capitalize NAMES in queries because it's LIKE screenplays but it looks RANDOM and WE DON'T need TO do that anyMORE. #pubtip

My #2 query pet peeve!! Second only to Courier font. #querytip

Paige Terlip @PTerlip

@SaraMegibow Great tip! Another isssue I see a lot = vague queries. Specificity (but not overdone) helps me know what makes a book special. #querytip

This too! #querytip

Hmmm, I don't have any influence on the Knight Agency, so I can't be of help. Maybe try someone at the Knight Agency. 😎 #querytip #pubtip

There’s no need to respond to a query rejection letter. Here’s a thread on why! #querytips #pubtips #amwriting #literaryagents 1/5

Replying to @WillsWork4Books

Please don’t ask us to recommend other agents (we’re keeping tabs on editors’ wishlists, not agents’). Plus, #querytip #pubtips 4/5

Don’t ask for more info or a reason (we’ve already spent as much time as we can on your query). #querytip #pubtips 3/5

Replying to @WillsWork4Books

A form of thanks isn't necessary. We often won't respond. (It’s MUCH better to thank us in advance in the #query). #querytip #pubtips 2/5

Writer Dudettes and Dudes. If you use my email instead of sub form, your query will be buried under other business emails. #querytip

Just had a convo w/ my CPs abt when your MS is “ready” to query & realized there’s a hangup that gets a lot of us at that stage #querytip 1/

"It's about potential, not perfection." Some great advice in here, writers. #querytip

#querytip Always include a query letter. Do not just attach or paste your MS in the body of the email. At the very least, say "hello."
