"Dear Agent:" is an automatic delete for me. #querytip

When querying an agent, please make sure your work fits with their list. Stop wasting our time. #querytip

I so appreciate it when a query links the author's twitter handle/website. Makes it easy for me to find out more if I'm intrigued! #querytip

Submission guidelines aren't arbitrary. I use them for a reason and they apply to any one and every one who queries. #querytip

I don't accept queries via post. If I receive yours in the mail it goes in the recycling. Don't waste paper on an auto-rejection. #querytip

K I think I speak for all agents when I say that we do not accept WhatsApp friend requests from querying authors. Because no. #querytip

Remember to not make your queries too long... I still need energy for the actual manuscript! #querytip

I keep track of every query I receive, so querying the same project that was just rejected won't work. #querytip

I live by Occam's Razor. I like books written with that in mind. #querytip

Sending me -- many agents -- unsolicited attachments equals automatic rejection and/or deletion. Follow submission guidelines. #querytip

An agent's rules of engagement: do not engage. #querytip
