Just a general #querytip -- and not to say ALL such books are a no-go -- books abt women being sex trafficked written by men make me uneasy.

One thing to consider when selecting an agent is whether you trust you'll be in good hands. That you can let them do their job. #querytip

So much occurs behind the scenes not worthy of a micromanaged update. Why trust is a must in author/agent relationship. #pubtip #querytip

Important to record who you’ve emailed. Same query = same answer. (Some replies get lost, but not most) Organize all the things! #querytip

Also, if you want to refer to another author by name in your query as a comparable, maybe try to spell their name correctly? #querytip

don't do this. #querytip

Do. Not. Sign. Anything. Without reading it fully. Agent agreements. Publishing contracts. The fancy drink u just bought. Got it? #querytip

Today's most unfortunate query inbox simile: "Like a misguided Jew working for the Nazis." Let's not. #querytip

Things I am probably never going to be interested in: 'satires' of 'millennials' by people decades older than us. #querytip

Having no agent can feel glum when you want one. But having an agent who isn't a match for you is worse. Hang in there, #writers! #querytip
