Most agents/editors know in the first 3-5 pages whether they like your story. Some in the first paragraph. Come in guns blazing! #querytip
Literary Agent
Don't tell us that we are just an obstacle in your way to getting published. It's not nice and sounds confrontational. #querytip
Literary Agent
#pubtipRT @LaneHeymont: Queries should be one page. Period. #querytip

MT @the1stdaughter: If you get an offer from an agent & accept be sure to send a quick note to anyone you've sent out queries too. #querytip

#querytip - If you ask me to recommend other agents after I reject your query, please do not expect me to respond.

TRUTH! โ@M_A_Patterson: #querytip Don't assume an agent will like your story b/c of their ethnicity. Don't. It's pretentious. @jawlitagent

I tweet #querytip(s) to help those in the query process, because I've been there! I keep things light, because querying and rejections SUCK!
Literary Agent
Do NOT query until your manuscript is COMPLETED. You won't even earn a rejection. Just a "finish your ms and then query"! #querytip
Literary Agent
What is it (genre)? How long is it (word count)? Don't overlook the basics in your query! #querytip
Editor
Prob not a good idea to send a query letter that says your MS is over 500 pgs & "not that good." Be confident! And maybe revise? #querytip

Psst! Iโm not an agent. Do not query me directly. Visit our website theseymouragency.com for submission guidelines. #querytip

It's always good to personalize your query, without coming across as "sucking up". #querytip

99.999999% of the time reputable agents wont contact authors asking to rep them. Unless, you're already a phenomenon. #querytip
