PSA for writers: Use an email address with your name for all business communications. Doesn't need to be for biz only, but it should NOT be an email you share with spouse or family w/ multiple names in the header. Be professional from the start. #pubtip

Things that feel like Must Haves but actually pretty much no one will notice if you have none:

*swag
*business cards
*blurbs

Writers, you really don't need biz cards. Contact info should be on manuscripts/queries/emails. Handing me one in a pitch, separate from your work, means nothing when I get home and it's one in a stack (that gets tossed). #pubtip

It's difficult to remain optimistic when the 6th word of a submission is a typo. #AgentLife #pubtip
