@thousandwintersgon.bsky.socialDude. Are we serious right now? I held off querying a new batch of 4 agents until I finished my synopsis update. Turns out not a single one of them wanted a synopsis! ๐ #literaryagents #writingcommunity #querytrenches #amquerying

@thesurrealari.bsky.social#nycc final day: a lot of people donโt realize how much of a literary show it is. Not just #comics, but prose #books as well. The woman at the @harpercollins.bsky.social booth was particularly helpful in the search for comp titles. #amquerying #querytrenches
@vannh.bsky.socialFor everyone else in the #writingcommunity stuck in the #querytrenches. #Amediting my query package for the hundreth time. How's your journey going?

[PubTip] Fiction Query Letter Guide (Google Doc)
@bykgwebb.bsky.socialHello world! I'm a debut #fantasy #author who is in the #QueryTrenches right now. I needed something to get my mind off of redoing my synopsis for the 50th time, so I wrote a silly #parody of "The Night Before Christmas" entitled "The Day before Querying." Let me know if you can relate. #amquerying
@jpcravener.bsky.socialReceived my very first personalized query rejection and hinestly? It means a world to me. To the agents who take those extra 30 seconds to write even a slight personalization - you're the real MVPs! #querytrenches #amquerying
