An author asked this, and yes - we are still bringing books to acquisitions and making offers on books. Lots of them! The publishing world hasn't slowed down. We're all still going to need books. We're all still working. We have a lot of time to READ! :) :) Keep writing.Same. I'm sitting on great news about several clients that I can't share yet because #publishing. In the meantime, @FuseLiterary has signed 3 new authors in the last week alone. Keep writing, and keep submitting. #PubTip #DontGiveUp

Ratatouille said it best: not everyone can be a great chef, but a great chef can come from anywhere. The same is true for novelists. Don’t worry about connections, money, social media. #Write your best book. That’s 98% of the battle. #amwriting100% Like I said on @madflavor's podcast, you don't have to go to a certain college to become a published author. Some do have great writing programs, but I've worked with PhDs, and I've worked with dropouts. Keep showing up, keep putting the work in, and it could be you. #PubTip

It's not the number of social media followers you have that impresses literary agent @gordonwarnock #NFWC. What's more important is having a high level of interaction and engagement. Are you reaching your target audience & are they engaging, sharing, commenting, and retweeting?100%. If you have a ton of followers, and nobody cares enough about what you're saying to comment/like/share, it's not a good indication that they'll care enough when you say, "Buy my book." #PubTip

I'm in the beginning stage, but I wish I'd known getting the deal doesn't speed anything up. "Patience is a virtue" must have been coined from the publishing industry! But community is everything. Hold onto it. Appreciate it. It takes you through the darker days. @Debut19Chat twitter.com/DebutAuthors19…Literary Agent

If you tell an agent off for taking too long to read a submission, the answer is always no. #pubtip

Good concept, horribly cliche execution. Every part of your manuscript must bring it, or it just won't work. #pubtip

Spend less time telling me about the need for your self-help & more time telling me how you're fulfilling that need. #pubtip
