#querytip The query is about a book, so please stop raving about the movie you imagine it would become! Or, query a movie agent.

Don't talk bad about agents and/or the publishing industry. My bosses are AGENTS and I'm in the INDUSTRY (u want to be in it too). #querytip

There's no reason to send an author photo with your query. It's pointless. Unless you're a real satyr. Then I'm interested. #querytip

Words to avoid when addressing a query: โHiโ, โHeyโ, โTo Whom it May Concernโ, โDear Editor/Agentโ. Use โDear (Agent/Editor name)โ #querytip

#querytip if you're going to include a synopsis with your query, keep it to a page, max. I won't read it if it's any longer

All writers should have a list like this. #querytip MT @MusingStar: Everyone should know what they want in an agent. bit.ly/1mcOonI

When querying, KNOW what genre your book fits into! You might think it's difficult to determine, but it's not. #querytip

Gmail is a good email service to use. Choose one that is as secure as possible. Sending spam to agents/publishers stinks. I know. #querytip

Bonus #querytip: "fiction novel" is redundant
Literary Agent
A #querytip worth repeating: don't forget to include genre and word count. Too easily overlooked! Don't overlook it!

Want a new publisher? Check your contract termination clause before you start querying agents to rep your published book. #querytip

It's okay if you don't have any writing credits, but there's no need to tell us that. Focus on ur book, not what you haven't done. #querytip
Literary Agent
please don't tell me that you don't know how to categorize your novel. It just makes me sigh wearily #querytip

Do NOT wait until an agent requests it to write your synopsis. Synopses will attempt to foil you at every step, so have 1 ready! #querytip
