How to Deal With Contradictory Query Advice

maretmakeup Haziran 08, 2022

Nathan Bransford has recently written a fantastic blog post on dealing with contradictory query advice. The post gives an agent's perspective into an issue I discussed in an earlier post - Top Tip #1 - Querying (Database for Queries).

His key points:

take a deep breath
remember that agent blogs are just trying to help
not all publishing advice is created equal (some posts might be out of date)
try to meet an agent's specifications but don't go crazy trying to do it
if you think contradictory query advice is mind-boggling, wait until you reach publication stage

Basically, do your research, but "don't sweat the small stuff!"

Great advice, thanks Nathan.
