Why I say "no" to great work @Kid_Lit
Hooks that snag great book deals @BubbleCow
Are you ready to query? Here's a checklist. @Janet_Reid
Agent explains how to trim your query to 250 words @elizabethscraig
Stand Alone
It amazes me how many people need to cut the first paragraph of their query. If your query makes sense without it, it needs to go @MandyHubbard
If you're a debut author, be aware it's virtually impossible to break in with a novel over 120,000 words. @RachelleGardner
Why do some queries include how many chapters are in the mss? Why would that matter? What does that tell me? Just tell me word count. @StaciaDecker
Reason for rejections: Internal & external conflict don't work together. @DocumentDriven
It's a MYTH that getting published is a catch-22. You DON'T need to be published in order to get an agent. @RachelleGardner
The protagonist should not be able to just walk away from the conflict @DocumentDriven
Something that sets an experienced, professional author apart from one still cutting their writing teeth? How they handle a rejection @KatelynnLacopo
