I steer authors away from bold formatting 100% of the time, and I steer them away from italics 90% of the time.

You should only ever use italics if the reader can't infer the emphasis. The words themselves should be emphatic enough on their own.

Happy Thanksgiving, friends! This is my annual reminder that all my querying occurred between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day and I had twenty full requests. If your dream agent is open during the holidays, go for it.
