Here's a common question we get - how many comp titles do you need in your query letter? 2 is the magic number and each should represent something different in your manuscript, i.e. 1 comp may evoke your lyrical writing. The other may have an MC similar to yours. #querytip #amquerying

What do agents really want? What do they really, really, really want? Look at the books they've represented to determine their tastes & sensibilities. If it seems like your books would fit in their collection, they might be a good fit for your work! #querytip #amquerying

Strong and original opening is essential. Also needs to be expertly paced and a showcase for the author's narrative voice. And it's a great sign if I know immediately which editor/imprint might be a match for it.
