#WritingCommunity and #amquerying folks, I have a thing to say. It’s a thread.

We are not entitled to an agent’s time and feedback in the QUERY process. Stop being salty. I know it sucks when we work weeks on a query and it seems like it’s rejected without a read. Agents are
busy humans who receive dozens to thousands of queries a month. Some of those really suck. Some just don’t click with what they’re looking to represent. Some agents have too much of that thing. Who knows why they passed.

They don’t owe us anything.

They. owe. us. nothing.
In the same way it is wholly inappropriate for you to expect and demand a woman you asked out to respond the way you want, with anything other than “no”, it is inappropriate

to trash agents who don’t give you the reply or feedback you think you’re entitled to.
Let’s shake the dust off our feet, check that rejection box on our QueryTracker lists, and move.along.

This isn’t directed at a particular person. I’ve just seen this a lot on some Facebook groups and some passive aggressive threads on Twitter.
That’s all.
Be nice humans. ❤️
