With pub contracts see if index $ to be deducted fr advance or royalties. Try to get latter or limit amt #pubtip twitter.com/nonfictionasso…

Psst, most agents work on summer Fridays even if publishers close early. #pubtip #amwriting

Got queries w/ word counts of 25K (too low) to 150K (too high), Always exceptions but most nonfiction btwn 60K to 90K. #pubtip #amwriting

#Authors: Acknowledge your publishing team in yr book. Not just editor but mktg, sales, assts & others. Don't forget your agent! #pubtip

Few queries on topic too closely related to book I currently represent. Don't want to compete with current client. #pubtip #amwriting

Another query: Eye-catching title & nice voice but googling author came up with nasty dispute. Made me think twice. #pubtip #amwriting

Working on queries. Rejected a project bec of an endorser listed in the proposal. The company you keep matters. #pubtip #amwriting

I told client to change FB privacy to friends only. His posts off brand for the type of book project I'm pitching to publishers. #pubtip

A msg for 1st time #authors: rock your no sales record. It's easier to establish than rehabilitate a bad sales record. @amwriting #pubtip

Speaking of advances, by getting your project in front of publishers, your agent will get you its market price. #pubtip #amwriting

Authors, don't hesitate to acknowledge folks on publishing team along w/ yr editor & agent (of course). It really takes a village. #pubtip
