Love this by my brilliant DMLA colleague! What's your vibe?? #writerstip #pubtip #amwriting

"Make it bigger" is a common phrase I use when speaking with my clients. Simply, I'm asking for you to look again at the plot to bring an element (or hook) to the surface that will easily appeal to a much wider audience. #querytip #pubtip #agenting

Publishing = patience. #pubtip

Welcome back everyone! Happy 2021! 🌟 Quick note: Agents are just seeing their emails for the first time after several days off and will not have all the answers right away. Be kind, be patient. #querytip #pubtip

#Authors -- this only gives you more reason to make sure you reach out PERSONALLY to all of your local bookstores and libraries. Having a personal connection with the industry will only help, in so many ways! #pubtip

#READERS: The best gift to an author is to post a positive review. Take the time, it will mean so much to them! #pubtip

One (baby) step at a time. I know it's very hard to do, but its very wise advice for anyone entering the publishing industry. #pubtip

Being a writer, you cannot fear the page 1 rewrite. #pubtip

Summer as a lit agent is the best! Time to focus on submissions, client mss, and editorial to gear up for big pitches this fall! #pubtip #agentlife

"Moving forward" is a good life lesson you will continue to be faced with when you are a published author. #pubtip

#writingtip #pubtip Don't fight with your storyline. If it's not coming to you naturally then you probably need to rethink.

Listen. #pubtip

Keep going. #pubtip #agenttip #writertip #everybodytip

Writers, please understand that your agent know what it takes. #pubtip
