ohgosh, please don't query in all caps? It really feels like you're yelling at me about bestsellers....it is unpleasant.. #querytip

Welcome @kortney_price to the Corvisiero team! Writers, be sure to check out her guidelines and wishlist! corvisieroagency.com/kortney-price.… #querytip

@RaeAChang is giving away #querytip gold in this thread!

I rep #romance so please make sure you feature a HEA or HFN in the work. If hero dies, that's not a romance. #querytip

I am DEFINITELY not the person to query w/ anything remotely tied to White Nationalism. That's not the #OwnVoices I'm looking for. #querytip

I'm a huge character-driven-story reader. If your MC is flat, and ms is riddled with passive voice, I'm going to pass on it. #querytip

Please don't send query to my personal email if I haven't previously requested it. They just get deleted. Follow sub guidelines. #querytip

Hey #querytip #writer people, @mcorvisiero has some tips for landing an... fb.me/1DzQwDyHw

If your novel isn't finished I don't want to see a query for it. ... especially if it's military fiction which I don't do anyway. #querytip

Keep word counts in mind when you write and esp. when you query. Try to stay within the guidelines for your genre. #querytip

#querytip Follow agency submission guidelines. Following guidelines = attention to detail = great business relationship w your agent/editor

When I encourage writers to query me and reiterate my query guidelines (send w/ first 10 pgs)--that's not a "request" for pages. #querytip

I reopen to queries 10/2! #querytip Capitals for TITLES = industry standard. Capitals to EMPHASIZE A POINT = yelling. Please don't yell.

#CLAqueries #querytip Daily Typo Winner: "I hate attached requested synopsis and pages" 😂😂😂

#CLAqueries #querytip Please title your novels. It can be anything. Editors will probably change it. But it should not be "untitled".

ooo, historical fantasy with strong women? YES, PLEASE! Into the Potentials folder you go! #CLAqueries #querytip

#querytip If you have a personal connection to the agent (referral, conference meeting), lead with it! Don't bury at the end of your query

#TipTuesday: Your #QueryLetter must be functional as well as compelling. Don’t forget basics like genre, word count, comps, etc. #QueryTip
