Do not talk about how your book or past books were rejected by other agents or editors. Ever. #querytip

Also if you see me at a conference don't join me as I walk to the washroom and try to give me your ms. Yes this really happened.
#querytip

Do not try to Friend me on FB to get my attention. Honestly it won't work!

#querytip Love your work and be proud of it! (Don't overlook or forget this!)

Don’t pitch agents over Facebook. Especially don’t send them messages. Also, don’t find them at Starbucks. That one’s a big no-no. #querytip

Good comparative titles show you really know and read within the genre you are writing. #askagent #querytip #writetip http://t.co/OfQ2CAk9Ag

#querytip Read the guidelines for each specific agent or agency before you query. http://t.co/XAZsrdcF9v

There is no such thing as a 'fiction novel'. 'Non-fiction novel' yes. (Thank you Truman Capote!) 'Fiction novel', no.

Having trouble writing your blurb? Read your comparative titles' back covers and mimic them. #querytip #askagent #slushpile

Spamming agents, editors, & reviewers on Twitter is a big no-no. People might snicker at you. Not to mention it’s unprofessional. #querytip

Important to include your contact info and author website under your name at the end of your query. #querytip #slushpile #askagent

Don’t tell me to scroll down in a query letter. I won’t. #querytip

Every sentence in your query should be interesting on its own. #querytip http://t.co/RgK1FF1cOl

Know your grammar. Study if you have to. Don’t have a copy Strunk’s Elements of Style? You shouldn’t be writing anything yet. #querytip

Make your pitch as concise as possible. A lot can be said in a little. #querytip

Think a revise & resubmit is bad news? I'm blogging 5 reasons at @LoriPerkinsRAB why it's GOOD agentinthemiddle.blogspot.com/2014/09/5-reas… #writetip #querytip

Blatantly ignoring submission guidelines & saying you're bad at following rules (& proud of it) is an express way to get rejected. #querytip

#querytip Don't forget hook. Seeing queries that have no hook, just intro to writer and into samples. You're competing with 100's #standout

A bad agent is worse than no agent. Research an agent BEFORE querying! #querytip #CommonSense
