  1. I clicked on Seven Tips for Choosing an Agent to Query. Under a black rectangle where a picture is expected, the text reads: “Writing a book can be tough.

    I hope I would enjoy those seven tips, but there is nothing more to click on to take me there. In the event it might make a difference, you should know I’m accessing your website with a MacBook Air on Safari 15.1. and system Monterey 12.0.1.

    Now, having brought this to your attention, perhaps you would take a brief look at some of my queries and tell me what I’m doing wrong, because I have four books and about 250 queries that have either been ignored or have elicited the standard form letter.

    Such a refreshing, light-hearted, yet thorough approach to how to begin the search for an agent. Much appreciated.

    Thank you so much for this episode! It was insightful AND included a comment about chickens. (Nice surprise!) Your attitude toward social media is refreshing and makes me much more comfortable moving forward in querying agents.
