@ginad129: Replying to @gregTheLiving Sample pages should be pasted into the body of the email. Don’t send attachments unless specifically requested to do so. #writingcommunity #writingtips #bookeditor #writers #writersontiktok #writersoftiktok #querying
How short/long should responses be to agents for full or partial requests?

The window you provide into the process is so human. I love it. The last bit of this post … endearingly human. 😁 👏👏👏

If they say 800 words, but the sentence cuts off at, say, 806, do you finish the sentence or only put exactly that many words?

QueryTracker has been immensely helpful for querying in QT and even with email/form queries. QT gives you access to the agents mswl, so you can see what they want, personalize each query and not waste time on agents who don’t want to read your genre.

The agents don’t want attachments because that puts them at risk of downloading malware.

huh it never occurred to me that it wouldn't be attachments, but that makes sense! (thankfully nowhere near querying yet so not made that faux pas!)

I request sample pages only if I’m interested in the proposal I have it listed only send to me by request. If you ignore those instructions and send it to me I’ll just automatically decline.

Does this screw up the formatting of your sample pages? Or do they not really care about that?

Quickest way to get passed over- don’t follow the instructions…

I remember the very first time I queried a manuscript... I was 15, read over my first draft ONCE to fix typos, printed the whole thing, and sent it by mail to Tor 😂 you can guess how that ended... (that was over 15 years ago)
