The mosquito knows the danger of sucking blood from a giant, but still risks death for the sake of their children. Do you feel so small that you wouldn’t do the same?

Make sure to tell agents the number of rejections you’ve received and the names of the agents so that they can rub it in their faces when they’ve given you an offer! #horriblewritetip #queryfail #amwriting #writerslife

C’mon! Who can’t respect a query from [email protected]??? #werentweall? #querytip #queryfail #amwriting #writerslife https://t.co/SJOVkOuvfw

Remember that time refuting an agent's rejection lead to representation?
No?
Me neither!

Not saying I'm famous or anything. But an agent addressed me "Dear Author." Pretty sure that means I made it! #writerslife #kindofabigdeal

This is why you gotta just address all queries "Dear Agent." Easier to copy & paste too! #horriblewritetip #queryfail #amwriting #amquerying https://t.co/smD51eaOx8

When you are so deep into researching an agent that you accidentally ❤️a tweet about their dinner from 2013.... 😳#amwriting #writerslife

Dear Agent,
When u say ur "going to pass on the MS," you mean pass it on to another agent who'll make me 🤑, right?

Best time to query? 1:17am. When you're properly infused w/liquid courage & sure every agent is craving your genius. #amwriting #QueryFail

They said to go through and get rid of all of my 'ly' words. Unfortunately I forgot my MC's name is Lily... #EditFail #amwriting #amediting

The best time to query an agent is when they 'say' they are closed to queries. #No1elseinline Horrible #PubTip

Make sure your MC evaluates herself in the mirror on pg 1. She's got to account for every not-at-all-attractive feature. #horriblewritetip
