4. *I'm counting down. Do nudge after around 3 months (for PB). Short & sweet--if emailed, write "follow up" in subject line of original query. Then pleasantly ask if they have any updates on xyz & thank you. Agents are swamped & short = kind! I've gone to acquisitions from follow ups!

1. Get the main point across while allowing the synopsis to shine. Your synopsis should be like a movie trailer for your book, not just a summary. Can the reader "taste" the tension & voice?

QUERY TIPS for #amquerying folks:
I've had multiple agents & have learned a few things I hope will be helpful. 1. The query letter matters but your pages matter most. 🧵
