#querytip "I'll let the writing speak for itself" tells me you haven't bothered to try to describe your plot or come up with comps!

#querytip Most agents have a large workload. If you send a query, please be patient and don't follow up on Twitter to publicly ask. Bad form

#QueryTip = Loved a book? Keep a doc with title, author, publisher, agent and even editor. Great data for when it's time to query!

Please don't email an agent's personal, non-agency email. That's rude and a good way to simply be deleted #CLAqueries #querytip #amquerying

There's no need to include images in your query. 1) I care about pages 2) half the time they don't show up #CLAqueries #querytip #amquerying

If we have a previous query from you and you send in a new one, tell us! Multiple queries are confusing #CLAqueries #amquerying #querytip

"My novel cannot be placed into a genre" - this says you haven't researched or your story isn't clear #CLAqueries #querytip #amerquerying

Just for those who don't know: I don't represent novellas, short stories, or poetry ❤️ #CLAqueries #querytip #amquerying

So #querytip if you find an agent in the wild, enjoying a holiday, respect their free time and don't pitch them your book.

Is it okay to use a film as a comp title in your query letter? Yes! #querytip #amquerying

Fantastic post about agents making time for themselves as well as others! #amagenting #amwriting #amediting #querytip #amquerying

You should query two agents at the same agency the same way you put on pants: first one, and then the other. #querytip #pubtip

#querytip if your audience is 12-18, that YA, not MG. MG is 8-12.

I showed this to @btaylorbooks a month ago to verify this happened. @laurenspieller @MalloryCBrown... Not just you. #don't #querytip

Give yourself time between each query round to rethink your strategy and pitch, revise, etc. (4/5) #querytip #amquerying #amwriting

Send queries in rounds, adhering to each agent’s guidelines. Don’t send all at once, so you can revise between rounds. (1/5) #querytip

Psst. Writers. Alter and Altar are two different words. Just saying. #querytip #amediting #amquerying #amwriting

Be sure to read your query a few times. Seeing "INSERT NAME" makes me think you rushed through it #CLAqueries #querytip #amquerying

#querytip Don't respond to a rejection with a query for another manuscript. Querying something new is fine, but do it the right way.

Ancestor and relative = different things. Ancestors are dead, therefore, cannot be searched for in your novel #CLAqueries #querytip
