Hi #10Queries friends. As a #BIPOC #editor, I loved that many of the subs and #authors were so culturally diverse. I'll be using these abbreviations in my feedback.

QL: Query Letter
FF: First Five Pages
MC: Main Character
GMC: Goal, Motivation, Conflict
WC: Word Count
C/TW: Content/Trigger Warning

While waiting for #10Queries, have some advice from our lovely editors about querying and the process to reach your writing goals 💖 #amquerying #writersky #writingcommunity
Querying Tips from RevPit Editors. "Take it slow and learn the market. Research the difference between age categories, genre divisions, and query formatting. The agents will still be there when you're ready." -Ayesha Ali

Querying Tips from RevPit Editors. "Writers often ask when the best time of year to query is. With most wait times being long, and agents sometimes closing to queries with little notice, the best time to query is as soon as you are confident your manuscript is ready." -Laura Galan-Wells

More sage wisdom from the #RevPit editors #10Queries #amwriting #amquerying
RevPit Editors. "Don't over-promise expected emotions by using words like hilarious, laugh-out-loud, heart-wrenching. Show your humor and emotions with your writing. Don't tell the agent what to expect. It's a query, not a blurb." Carly Hayward.
