If you're on Twitter...

#queryday is the brainchild of literary agent Colleen Lindsay, of FinePrint Literary Management. About once every other month or so (the date is announced in advance) , writers can monitor discussion between writers and agents online and glean valuable information. Any writer who includes #queryday in their Tweet will have their post appear in the query day stream. Others, including agents and other writers, may or many not answer your Tweet.

To monitor the fun, go to http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%23queryday, and refresh your browser periodically. To view a synopsis of the discussion, go to Tara Lazar's blog. If you want to participate, you need to bite the bullet and go to Twitter.com and sign up. Your question must be 140 characters or less and must include "#queryday".

You might also want to check out Colleen's blog, The Swivet. You might also want to check out her colleague Janet Reid's blog, as well.

Hey there, just a correction. We don't do this every Friday. We do it about every two months, and not always on the same day of the week. I'd never have time to do this every week nor would any of the other agents. We'll agree on a day about a month beforehand and then I post that day on my blog so folks can follow along. But I certainly don't want to mislead people

Thanks, Colleen. And thanks for the great service. I updated the post to reflect what you said.
