"The book is significantly original." #querytip what does that mean?

For anyone perpetually confused about magical realism, please read @michellewitte’s superb 5-part series. michellewittebooks.com/2015/07/what-i… #querytip

Magical realism =/= any story with magic. Check out this SF/F genre guide by @dreamoforgonon if confused! fuseliterary.com/sff-subcategor… #querytip

YES, magical realism in adult/YA/MG is still at the top of my #MSWL! But if you're going to use that term, know what it means. #querytip 1/2

Query: I am contacting you today about my "romance" novel.

If we interact on twitter/I follow you, make sure you mention it in query! #querytip (yes, this = subtweet and I mentioned it in email back)

Authors - I want to know what your plot is in your query! Only telling me why you wrote it/it came to you in a dream doesn't help #querytip

Just FYI, writing tweeps! I delete all queries not addressed to me personally (MADAM? really?!) Everyone else gets a response. #querytip

#querytip a polite "thank you for your time" email after a rejection is fine-but it shouldn't also include another query for your next MS

Query me with ONE project at a time. Pretend I am a goldfish and have a three-second attention span. #querytip

#querytip: if an agent asks for an R&R on a Monday and you resubmit on a Thursday, you didn't revise enough. I promise you, you didn't.

If you wait weeks to send your ms to an agent who asked for it, you're squandering a unique moment when their interest sparked. #querytip

Dystopian is no more. #querytip

You guys are killing me with all the images embedded in the queries. Yeah, stop. #querytip

20K word count is not a novel. #pubtip #querytip

If you are sending me a query, pls review my guidelines here first, publishersmarketplace.com/members/LisaHa… Thank you and have a great day! #querytip

I’m all for lean query letters, but there is a thing as TOO lean. Try not to edit the coherence out in an effort to be concise. #querytip

Know where your book lands on the shelf. Telling me it's genreless or too unique just means you don't know your audience.#querytip #askagent

Ditto! #querytip twitter.com/jawlitagent/st…
