Met wonderful people and it led me to an Agent. Anyone preparing to query, go for it!

Had an amazing time at a conference this weekend and came away with my brain full of things to mull over and share.

One thing, that I also keep seeing: Questions in a query letter. Yay or Nay?

Answer: nay
Real Answer: It depends. But usually nay. #writingcommunity #amquerying #writersky

Misconceptions about querying:

Queries must be perfect to send to an agent. FALSE.

Comps should be exactly like your book. NOPE!

An agent gave a form response on your last book, so they’re not going to want this one. INCORRECT.

Are you readying your manuscript to query agents? Preparing for this year’s RevPit event?

What better way to know if your query and first 5 pages have what it takes to stand out in the slush pile than to get an editor’s eye on it?

We are hosting a #10Queries event, October 10th - October 24th!

Manuscript Evaluation: Push your writing by digging into big-picture edits. It is the perfect service for all types of authors because it helps you grow as a writer beyond one manuscript.

Learning different story structures can feel overwhelming, but once you know them, you can use what works for you.

When studying a new-to-you structure, read a published novel at the same time.

Keep all the notes about the books in a “reading journal.”

Get a friend involved to compare notes!

It's almost time for #10Queries again! Submit your query and first pages for a chance to be critiqued by a professional editor. Feedback will be posted anonymously here on Bluesky, and we'll email you after if one of the critiques was for your submission. #RevPit
