Authors! Don’t be vague in your queries (‘unfortunate events’ or ‘bad things happen to her’). Tell me what happened! I want plots! #querytip

In order to properly consider your query and work I need to know what genre I'm looking at. No, it's not always obvious. #querytip

I humbly request that you consider your font size when querying. If I have to squint to read it, it makes me a little nutty. #querytip

Science fiction fantasy is not a genre. It's one or the other. Not both. Know your genres. Please! #querytip

Please don't send us screenplays! We don't handle them. We do mention that on the website...

Just want to clear up a myth about subs: Courier font is NOT required. Those Mad Men days are over. #pubtip #querytip ow.ly/OSCjg

#querytip: I prefer to see MG opening pgs focus on a MG-age protagonist, not an adult. (HARRY POTTER is the exception that proves the rule.)

Please don't send a follow-up query moments later HIGHLIGHTING a typo. You know I may have missed it, right? #querytip #yougottahavefaith

#querytip: newsflash EVERYONE loves Harry Potter and the Hunger Games series. Really, every human person. And even some animals.

Double check the review tab in Word that "show all markup" is on so this doesn't happen to you. #writetip #querytip twitter.com/maseditor/stat…

It's important to actually read and understand your emails. #querytip #writetip #SentAndReceive

...There's no need for this. a) this cause/effect = logically flawed & b) it's an agent's job to know the market already. #querytip part 3/3

...for example "As bestsellers X & Y have shown, children love dogs, therefore this book abt dogs will be a success"... #querytip part 2/3

I get a decent amount of fiction queries that include some attempt at a market sum-up re: the book's subject matter... #querytip part 1/3

@sue_mill #querytip That's right, don't keep the story a secret from the agent you query, we need to know!
