Authors! Save yourself some time and automate what you can! Start a folder "business of writing". Include:-long/short bio & press kit info
-images of book covers
-useful PDFs (skype info, etc)
-website links
-book synopses
If you reference it often, add it!
Excellent advice! #pubtip

On rejection: You only lose if you stop playing. You never get published if the mss. is in the drawer. Rewrite, make it better, send it out!Here's a great #pubtip courtesy of publishing legend @JaneYolen.

One advantage to making a school visit presentation for my own kid's class is that I'm not afraid to use weird gnome photos. pic.twitter.com/ysxWD5sRCVThink you're done w a manuscript? PUT IT AWAY. Clarity comes with time. Be as honest w yourself as you would w a critique partner. #pubtip
