Young writers! Don't waste your energy on drama. Focus on your writing. That is the only thing that will get you anywhere that matters.

This. #pubtip

Emily Rodmell @EmilyRodmell

Resist the urge to start your books with back story. Start with an inciting incident or interesting dialogue instead.

Yes! Yes! Yes! #pubtip

Heather Alexander @HeatherAlexand

You have an offer of representation and now the clock is ticking. PANIC! heatheralexanderblog.wordpress.com/2016/05/13/an-…

Getting an offer of rep is GREAT, but don't be hasty! Good advice to authors from @HeatherAlexand. #pubtip twitter.com/HeatherAlexand…

jennifer laughran @literaticat

Please. Don't query me after you already have offers. This is SO RUDE. Both to the offering agents AND to me.

TRUTH. #pubtip twitter.com/literaticat/st…

Martha Brockenbrough @mbrockenbrough

Writers, you know that feeling of despair you sometimes get in a draft? This means you recognize something that needs revision. YES!

Martha Brockenbrough @mbrockenbrough

Writers, having a tricky time with a scene? Write a list. Where it happens. Who's in it. What they can see, hear, smell. How plot advances.

Great advice from @mbrockenbrough! #pubtip twitter.com/mbrockenbrough…

Christina D Gonzalez @ChristinaDG

This. Because it's always easier to revise a poorly written page than a blank one! twitter.com/mbrockenbrough…

FACT! Much easier to revise when you have something *to* revise. Put it on the page! #pubtip twitter.com/ChristinaDG/st…

Eric Smith @ericsmithrocks

I've been getting lots of queries via LinkedIn lately.

Don't do that. Follow an agent's sub rules.

Also no one likes LinkedIn. #querytip

Yes. This. LinkedIn is not for queries. #pubtip twitter.com/ericsmithrocks…

John M. Claims to Be on Hiatus @johnmcusick

#QueryTip Always lead with your pitch. Agents read hundreds of queries a day and you don't want us wading through a long preamble.

Great advice. #pubtip twitter.com/johnmcusick/st…

Amy Boggs @notjustanyboggs

Learning what criticism to listen to and what not to is a learned skill, but a vital one for a published author and varies person to person.

Great advice for authors everywhere. #pubtip twitter.com/notjustanybogg…

You want an agent who LOVES your work. Sometimes that's me. Sometimes it's someone else. Sometimes you need to write a better book.
