#QueryTip Agents will pass on your work, but they're passing on your project, not you personally. Don't worry if you sent something out too soon. Keep #writing. Keep #revising. Keep #querying. Don't give up. You'll get there. I'm rooting for you!

Okay writers. Let’s for a moment attempt to talk about pitching a series. There is limited space here and I’m on the elliptical so I’m going to do my best…

A pitch isn't a plot summary it's an escalating dilemma. Hook agents by framing your logline as: Active Goal - Uncontrollable Obstacle - Terrible Choice with High Stakes.

#QueryTip - Authors, if you fail to include how the book ends in the synopsis (and yes, I mean synopsis not the query letter itself) I can only assume that is how the book ends—without an ending.
Synopsis should contain spoilers. They are expected in a synopsis.

#QueryTip - if you have published your book on Amazon, your book is considered published. Even if you pull it down.
Do some self published books get picked up by trad publishers? Yes. But those are the exceptions, not the rule.

Today is a reading day (both client manuscripts and #queries).

If I see any #JMSQueryBoxTrends or think of a #WriteTip or #QueryTip, I will share insight.

Wishing you a great #writing / #revising day and weekend!

Rules of engagement:

We live in a world of bots, gaslighters, catfish, & marketeers (and trolls).

So, if you DM me with a simple “Hi, What are you up to?”, I’m going to let it go on by. Be specific. Give me your best pickup line.

#QueryTip #Pitch #Logline Formula to get you started:

When [the inciting incident happens], [the protagonist] must [achieve the objective], or risk [the stakes] before [ticking clock]

Then revise and polish at the line level for great effect. Think smart, snappy, and scintillating. Less is more!

I’m also noticing a lot of queries are missing stakes.
Character wants X and if they don’t get it Y will happen.
Don’t forget the stakes!! #QueryTip

Query Tip of the Day:

Only pitch one project per query letter.

(Unless the agent or editor specifically asks to see more in your initial query letter.)

Small submission tip! IMO, it is usually better to just say "Hi/Dear/Hello [name of agent/editor]" than to accidentally misgender someone! It is not disrespectful to call someone by their name, and you are allowed to do it. #querytip #pubtip #publishing
