#QueryTips

#QueryTips We understand sending lots of queries out at the same time. BUT! Make sure you’re not sending to two agents at the same agency. Prioritize one agent and match their manuscript wishlist with your query!

Don’t forget to mention comps in your query! Even if your work is the most original title in the world, include comps. #QueryTips

Some #querytips as a lit intern and past querying writer myself. This is also to ease some minds as well 🩷 🧵 1. You do NOT need writing credentials. It doesn't matter if you went to school for bio-engineering or didn't go to school at all, as long as your book is, for the most

One of the most important parts of your query is a good hook or logline! Make sure to research examples! A strong hook will help catch an agent's attention. #querytips #cmalit #writingtips #writing

“Not for me.” “Didn’t connect.” It’s easy to take rejection personally. But every agent is just one reader. Your job? Find the right one. #AmQuerying #QueryTips

Your agent is going to be your partner for–potentially–years to come. They are going to be your fighters for your book. So don’t overthink your query. Let your manuscript shine and let the agent see what and who they’ll be working with! Don’t be afraid to be yourself. #querytips

Interested in querying us? Agents @claire_m_harris and @carlywatters have some #querytips for you!

I'm honoured to be able to interview @Losbennett this week from @LiverpoolLit and looking forward to asking questions re #amquerying Thank you Laura. A blog post will be posted through the week with a link. #querytips

Sunday Night 8pm EST meet us here for #askagent #querytips #VicLit @shannonorso @MelissaGaines42

When querying an agent, choose someone who represents your genre. I like to represent Mystery & Thrillers, Woman's Fiction (romance), and upscale book club fiction to name a few. #querytips

Querying is different for everyone! Don’t get discouraged because your path looks different than someone you know. #querytips #querying #agentlife #authorlife #writerlife #writing #books #bookcommunity

Dear querying writers: As an agent, I can only take on about 1% of all queries I receive and still have enough time for my clients. It’s not that your work isn’t good. It’s that we only have a certain number of slots. Trust me, we would take on more if we could. #querytips

Check out @TheTobiasAgency Literary agent @annmrose eat (critique!) queries on our Youtube or Patreon (link in bio!). #querytips #writingtips

A huge thank you to @Losbennett for her agent advice this week. For those #amquerying check out this interview for lots of insight and #querytips Such a lovely chat and very eye opening. Hope it helps and thanks again Laura. #WritingCommunity #askanagent

🧵My tips for querying #mentalhealth now that Im back in the trenches (for all of 5 min lol) 1. Do ur research beforehand so you can spend as little time as possible physically querying & only 2check details, like MSWL for personalization, pronouns etc. #amquerying #querytips

As a general reminder, CMA is a boutique agency with multiple agents. Don't forget to specify who you're querying in your email, and avoid querying two agents at once with the same project. Wait to hear back from one agent before reaching out to another. #QueryTips
