#QueryTip: If you have multiple projects, it is best to focus your energy on one at a time. Select your strongest, work with CPs and beta readers to fine tune it, and take it out to agents. This is important is because it's also how the submission process works! #AmQuerying

Rejections suck, but they are a step closer to a yes! Just because your work isn't perfect for one person, doesn't mean it won't be for another. #querytip

"Writers hear that they’re supposed to personalize their queries–but “how personal, exactly?” is the most common question."

Agent @carlywatters shares 10 Ways To Personalize Your Query to Agents 📝 bit.ly/2dQIril #querytip #amquerying

#QueryTip: Check out an agent's client list before querying, if possible. If you know their clients, they can be a great resource on whether or not you'd be a good fit. You should also consider if it's a group you would feel good to be part of. #WritingCommunity #AmQuerying

Our work email is on Google. Google pulls a little avatar for each email sender if there’s one available. I still can't get over what shows up for some people in my queries. Maybe check yours before querying? Shirts highly recommended. #querytip

Hey all! I am currently closing to queries for a bit to focus on client work and catch up on my submissions. I will still be going through and answering those I have, so keep an eye out for my replies! #amquerying #querytip #WritingCommunity

A problem I see in many fantasy queries is that authors want to start with the details of their world, but with so little space, what really matters is the character and their journey. The world should be introduced as you explain how your character interacts with it. #querytip

The best way to show an agent that your novel is high concept is to write a one (at most two) line hook/logline in your query letter before your summary. #querytip #amquerying

Pro-querying-tip: if you get an offer of rep, send a fresh follow up email with “offer of rep” in the subject line. Stands a better shot of being seen in case we haven’t seen the original query yet. #querytip

And I am sure there’s good stuff in there that I’m just going to have to say no to because of time. Which always makes me feel terrible. #querytip #amagenting

"A beginner’s guide to looking up agents. Because it shouldn’t be that hard, and if you know the right resources, it isn’t. Especially when those resources are (almost entirely) free." bit.ly/2OslZiW via @ericsmithrocks #PubTip #QueryTip

Update: I am caught up to June in my query box! 😁 #amagenting #amquerying #querytip

#QueryTip: Make sure to provide correct contact info in your query and make sure it’s working! Today I’ve screened queries with no Email address, and had one of my replies bounce. #WritingCommunity #AmQuerying

I woke up super early and was going through my queries because none of the pets wanted to hang out with me (and also capitalism) and I wanted to talk for a minute about how agents talk about queries on social media (#querytip)

I’ve seen queries in my box that don’t even address me. Please address us. We are people. We want to feel close to your work. Just like how you want to feel connected to an agent. We want the same thing as an agent. ❤️ #querytip #WritingCommunity #amagenting

Y'all, I've seen a bunch of "To whom it may concern" queries today.

Please use our names. We are people. #amagenting #querytip #amquerying

#querytip: Don’t be self-deprecating in or nervous about your author bio! Yes, I ask for a bio to learn about your writing credentials (if you have any) but also about YOU. It’s not a red flag to me if you haven’t been published anywhere before or if you don’t have an MFA.
