Amanda Isabel Ramirez: Human Furby @AmandaIsA_Ram
Some context for anyone thinking "just buy everything..."Agents send me good shit that I attempt to prioritize (by sub date? excitement level? what I have less of? which is going fastest? still working that one out) & choose between.
It's a Never Ending Struggle, my good folx. twitter.com/AmandaIsA_Ram/…
This is a fantastic breakdown of the very difficult decision editors make when acquiring works and in some ways similar to the way agents approach queries as well. #pubtip

Yes, people are STILL arguing with my suggestion that aspiring writers read ONE recent book. One. Not one hundred. Not to never read older books. Not write a book exactly like that one. Just read one recent book. And they cannot handle it. I'm flabbergasted twitter.com/Sarah_Nicolas/…You should be reading on the genre you write and reading current titles to understand the voice and the themes important to that audience/market. #pubtip

Quick #pubtip: When writing romance, make sure the hero & love interest are likable. Your readers want to care about your characters.

Don’t just throw in a diverse character into your query in order to “qualify” it for my list. #QueryFail #PubTip #CLAQueries

No one likes to write synopses but it’s a piece of the puzzle that really help me decide whether I want to read more of work or not. #pubtip
Literary Agent
For many of us, the synopsis is what we use to decide if we’re going to request to see more. #CLABootCamp #pubtip

Personally, I prefer a query letter to be 300-350 words (+-10%). For me that's a good length. Not too long, not too short. Fellow agents?Yes, short, sweet and to the point. Who are you? What’s your story? How long is it? What have you written? #pubtip twitter.com/jawlitagent/st…

There’s no such thing as an erotic YA. It's either New Adult, Adult or pedophile porn. Only 2 of those 3 are publishable. #pubtip
