Agent Weronika Janczuk gives us a bit of golden advice that will help keep you sane while you're submitted:
@WeronikaJanczuk Write something new when you're querying. Always. It's beneficial for an agent to work with writers with multiple mss done. #pubtip
Weronika gives us a bit more great advice on the ever popular #pubtip hashtag:
@WeronikaJanczuk If you query widely and one agent asks for an exclusive, you are free to decline to give it, out of courtesy for the others. #pubtip
If you're submitting or about to be, you NEED to read this. Agent Natalie Fischer gives us some tips on what not to do in a query:

As always great links. I can't wait to be able to check them out.
