Want to make your manuscript unique? Don't start it with your protagonist waking up. #querytip

Avoid clichés. If you must use one, twist it like a pretzel! #querytip #WritingTips

Also a Halloween #protip.
Don't send me the same ms under a different name. I won't like it any better the second time!

ALWAYS have at least one critique partner. Even for your queries. Second and third opinions are valuable tools. #querytip #writetip

To the author who verbally abused me 2 years ago & now thinks a different email address will get thru... nice try. #querytip #bridgeburnt

#querytip There should be three names made clear in your query: agent's name, manuscript name, writer's name. http://t.co/YFwrpXsSGJ

Queries are one page. The end. That's one page only! #querytip

Our super agent and founder @AgentMarySue is looking for Amish romance or Amish mysteries... #querytip

A number of queries this week were plain confusing. Don't be so clever that things get messy in your query & 1st pages #querytip

When writing that query imagine how an agent would describe your book to an editor in 1-2 sentences. Does it sound good? Be honest #querytip

#querytip don't query unless your manuscript is complete.

Psst! Everyone makes mistakes. So, don't sweat the small stuff. A single typo won't kill you. But avoid them like the plague. #querytip

Do. Not. Private message. Agents. Query through proper channels. Yes, you'll have to wait, but that's the nature of our industry. #querytip

Would anyone be interested in a weekly first page critique? I'll be hosting it on my blog. Please let me know #amwriting #pubtip #querytip

If your comp is LeCarre, Tom Clancy, or Jack Higgins, we are not a good fit for one another. #querytip

Know your genres. #querytip

Info-dumping makes for a horrible opening. Throw us into the action. Hook us on a line of words that evoke the senses. #querytip #writertips

Grammar, grammar, grammar is the difference between knowing you're shit and your shit. #querytip #ClassicJoke

Follow submission guidelines. Just. Do. It. #querytip

If you don't know what a synopsis is, please learn what one entails. #querytip
