5. Read your query aloud or get someone else to read it and tell you where they were confused or if they stumbled over any sentences. It's easy to get too close to it and miss these things! #QueryTip #RevPit

4. Clarify the protagonist's main story goal (what do they want?), motivation (why do they want it?), stakes (what will happen if they don't get it?) and conflict (what gets in their way?) in the plot paragraphs. #QueryTip #RevPit

3. Try to find comps that are the same genre, subgenre, and age category as your novel. #QueryTip #RevPit

2. All-caps your novel's title but italicize your comp titles. #QueryTip #RevPit

1. Don't say what your book is about twice. It's tempting to list themes, give a tagline, or write a sentence about the book before stating its word count and other metadata. Instead, save the description for the plot summary paragraphs. Make every word of the query count! #QueryTip #RevPit
