Me, querying an agent who has no record of ever responding to a query. Ever.

You’re welcome! And thank you for helping us querying writers. Your information and advice has been insanely helpful to me.

If you’re an #amquerying #writer, do yourself a favor and study @charmstrong.bsky.social guide on Editing Your MS Before Querying. It’s full of links and editing info. Even if you think your MS is ready, this guide will clean it up even more. It’s intimidating but well worth it! #writingcommunity

Done!

This is from QueryTracker! You can track agent responses to queries. Everyone around me has received a response but me, so I’m hoping I’m still under consideration. I do track all of my queries though, both on QT and my own spreadsheet 😂

That just happened to me with two other agents. It’s brutal!

So, you’re saying there’s a chance? 🤣 🤞🏼

What are your filler words—the words you don’t realize you use unnecessarily as you write and your word count drops once you chop them?

Mine are: just, that, really. I’m curious what yours are! Perhaps I can chop even more! #WritingCommunity #writer #amquerying #amrevising

Thank you!

An agent disliked my query so much that she sent me two rejections in the span of one minute. I know she probably didn’t mean to reject me twice but ouch!

Less than 5 minutes later, I got a form rejection on a full. Ouch, again.

Absolutely!

I queried Agent X b/c she was closing for the year. After, I reworked the MS & have had requests since. Agent X just sent a kind rejection saying she saw the potential and it was a “very close call for her.” Tip: don’t query too early even if they are going to close 😥#WritingCommunity #amquerying

Just a few requests for fulls so far, but I will definitely let you know if anything happens. Thank you so much!

You’ve been on there since I started 6 weeks ago! Can’t wait!

I think mine falls into “psychological suspense romance” although I’ve been categorizing it as a psychological thriller (romance is a large part of it though). 🤔

I’m obsessed with Post-it notes and to-do lists! They are all over my house!

Thank you!

Thank you!

After receiving 3 query rejections, I woke up to my second request this morning and I am so very grateful! Fingers crossed! #WritingCommunity #amquerying #amwriting #writer

100%

I’ve been checking multiple days a day, so thank you so much for the update! I’ll try to relax a little! 😂

That’s terrifying! I’m glad he’s okay!

I don’t blame you! It definitely deserved to be pointed out!

I agree that an edit function is needed!

It’s totally on point! 🤣

I meant “tweaking” but didn’t see a way to edit it once it was posted, so I left it even though it drove me nuts! I’m assuming you meant “around correcting” instead of “aroundcorrecting.” See—typos happen! 😜

I recently saw a video from an agent recommending being active with the #WritingCommunity on all socials including TikTok. If any #amquerying #writers have a TikTok or IG account, please include it below. I’d love to follow you!

🤣

I love unlikable characters, particularly when they are women!

Thank you!

I’d love to be included! Thank you!

Yes!!!
