#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!

I just opened for queries on Thursday afternoon and have already received hundreds of submissions. One thing I ask (via query manager) is to include comps of recently published, similar books in your query. They are important throughout the publishing process! #QueryTips

“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

To the writer wondering if their story is “too weird”: Weird is marketable. Weird is memorable. Just make sure weird also has structure. Otherwise, it’s chaos in a trench coat. #AmWriting #QueryTips

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

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

"Not for me" "Didn’t connect" "Doesn’t fit my list" If you’ve ever wanted to scream into the void after reading one of those—this post is for you. 👉 #QueryTips #writingcommunity #amwriting #amquerying

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

If you’re lucky enough to get feedback about your query or partial from an agent, don’t take it for granted! We don’t have time to do that for everyone, and it means we see a lot of potential in your work that we want to help you draw out. #QueryTips

Before sending a query out, do research on the agent you are sending it to, and make sure it aligns with their interests! Do not send it to multiple people from the same agency. #querytips #writingcommunity #writerslife #query #amquery #askanagent

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

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
