Dialogue tip: If your dialogue is getting a touch too stilted because characters are too direct or expository in what they say, try rewriting the dialogue around the facts, and let your reader fill in the negative space. The best text is often subtext.This is great advice! Make your readers do some of the work. An engaged reader will find it harder - if not impossible - to put your book down. #amwriting #writingtips #writingtip #pubtip

As a 1st time #PitchWars mentor, I’m grateful to everyone who subbed to me. This decision was tough, & as much about goodness of fit (1/22)Lovely #pitchwars thread here, and good advice for staying positive while querying agents as well! #amwriting #pubtip

"Revisions are like cleaning a toilet. You can't make it worse!" @hollyblack @planetalvina #BEA2017 #bookexpo2017I don't completely agree with this- I have seen writers "break" their books. But you can always "flush" bad changes! #pubtip #writingtips

Dunno if you know this but The Day The Crayons Quit was rejected by every publisher for 6 yrs before it sold to @PhilomelBooks #keepwritingHave heart, writers. Many, many writers had the same start and became huge successes. You only need one YES. #writingtips #pubtip #amwriting

Actual footage of a literary agent sending an author out on submission: pic.twitter.com/4akBYu3hgVTRUTH. Although there should be a speech bubble with a prayer in it. #pubtip #amagenting #wheeeeeeeeee
