Just about every author who has been through the query trenches will agree: frankly, it sucks. So here are seven querying hacks to make the process a LOT smoother — and give you back hours of precious time that you could be spending on your next story.

I know the worst thing you can possibly do is write the sequel to a novel that hasn’t got a book deal (let alone a novel you’re currently querying) but, like, I REALLY want to (i may or may not have already written 25k words of it last year and forced myself to stop back then)

My QueryTracker subscription renewed today. I am not taking it as a failure of one more year of not getting an agent. I am taking it as one more opportunity to try. Never give up, writer friends! They don't call it the #querytrenches for nothing!!
