#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

#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

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

Lunch break #askagent! Anyone got any questions? In the meantime, here's a thread of #querytips!

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

When reading samples, a strong hook and great opening pages pulls us in – so make sure the first sentences of your manuscript are in tip-top shape! #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

Clearly identify the genre and intended audience for your story in your query. #QueryTips

"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

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

Hey all, thank you so much for all the love for DIMENSION WHY today. Needless to say, it's exciting and strange stepping back into the author space. I want to say a few things on this topic, but I also hate talking about myself (in a serious way), so please bear with me...

And to the rest of you present-makers out there, no matter the tone of your book, here's to all the temporary happy endings, surviving the high stakes middles, and all the fresh starts to come.

Aaaaand we now resume our regularly scheduled feed of #querytips, dad jokes, and posts about my cat's digestive system.

#QueryTips Your query is, above all, a sales pitch (but a literary sales pitch). Make me want to read your book from the first line of the email!

Newbie writer question: Can you query the same agent with multiple manuscripts? I.e. if they reject one, can you query then with a different project? #querytips #amquerying #writingcommmunity #writingtips #amwriting

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
