I wrote this piece for The New York Times. It’s about the time our 7-year old heard that Chinese people shouldn’t be allowed in this country. She asked: Am I Chinese? #AAPIHate #ActtoChange nytimes.com/2021/03/19/well/…?

STEP 5: Query in batches
This is my preferred method of querying. You’re going to need a lot of agents on your list - I recommend like 50-100. I know that sounds like a lot, but there are many reputable literary agents out there, and it’s a numbers game to some extent!

STEP 2: Know where to find agents to query
…need to build an agent list. And this requires knowing where to find info on agents!
(1) Manuscriptwishlist.com is a great resource to see what agents are looking for, but be careful - some profiles are outdated....

STEP 1: Know your age range and genre
The first thing you need to know about querying is about *your book* - what is your age range and genre? You want to make sure you’re querying agents who represent what you write.

"In the first draft, choice belongs almost entirely to characters...my choices as a writer come in more in revision or second or third draft questions when I’m trying to make decisions about what I want the story to be." via @lithub ow.ly/jMLc50DMQEc
