You figure this #querytip would be obvious, but I get so many of these: if you don't speak English, don't write a book in English

PART FIVE of the #JustPitchIt free query workshop is up! wp.me/p1xY6v-hl #amwriting #querytip #PrizeVault-open

Never turn down a #querytip! @gemma_cooper is on the blog today: jennybent.blogspot.com/2014/04/making…

Be sincere in your query. Brown-nosing and cookie cutter compliments will get you nowhere. #Querytip

If you are querying the first book in a series, please be sure to mention that! #querytip

PART FOUR of the free query workshop is now up and reading for comments! wp.me/p1xY6v-hi #amwriting #querytip #JustPitchIt

Be aware of the news. What's popular? What can you do to your novel that can make it more modern? #Querytip

Depth. Psychological. Emotional. Heartbreaking. #Querytip

Hungry for new projects. Looking for novels that relate to our surroundings TODAY. #Querytip

Don't forget to do your query workshop homework! wp.me/p1xY6v-he #amwriting #JustPitchIt #querytip http://t.co/2ZQ7QajiBb

Did you know there’s a free query workshop going on right now?! ctt.ec/TPmDg+ #amexcited #querytip #JustPitchIt

Queries aren't the time for a sermon or converting an agent. Querying a religion-based manuscript? Be respectful of all faiths. #querytip

Everything must serve a purpose. Even chitchat between characters must move the story forward or it's useless fluff. #writetip #querytip

Ha! Love THIS! "@the1stdaughter: If you're querying be mindful of your google avatar. Nudes and/or mugshot photos don't look good #querytip
