Hey all! I won't be using this profile as much because I'm heading over to my new author twitter, the handle is @BenAdamsWrites My new website link is in the bio. On it are blog posts of how I got my agent and my query stats. Give me a follow! #amquerying #WritingCommunity

@makaylabryant88 This happened to me too. The best thing you can do is stay the course unless they ask for an R&R. Trust your writing and don't revise until your queries are "done" and you have some actionable notes. It worked out for me and I'm sure your pages are great! :)

@IndyBookDragon 225 across three books. The first two books I didn't get any offers and the third book I received two offers :)

[Benjamin Adams @benadamsfc]

[Benjamin Adams @benadamsfc]

@Wisteraverse I put in mine: "Hey Agent!

Thank you for letting me resubmit my query to you! You will find my original query letter below and I hope you enjoy my new pages. I really appreciate the opportunity and your notes!

Thanks again!

@C_H_Armstrong That's awesome! It took me a long time to do well in school too. He's doing great! :)

@author_laurenk *WHEN you offers. Speak that into existence :)

@annie_m_morgan Thank you!

[Benjamin Adams @benadamsfc]

Make that 3 full requests! One agent read the partial and requested the full! Heck yes! #SDWW!😃 #amquerying

[Benjamin Adams @benadamsfc]

Very successful writing conference #SDWW! Out of 7 agent pitches, I got two full requests and 4 partial requests for my new Middle Grade novel! 😃 #amquerying

[Benjamin Adams @benadamsfc]

@JGSurma No offer yet! Just dreaming and wondering what to do if the best happens :)

[Benjamin Adams @benadamsfc]

Question: If an indie publisher makes me an offer, do I treat it as if an agent made me an offer? So then I would email all my interested agents and give them 2 weeks (3 weeks during the holidays) to decide if they also want to make an offer? Or is it different? #amquerying
