Good writing isn't enough. This is business. #pubtip

Want to succeed in publishing? Be a perpetual student, Then pay it forward. #pubtip

Attend a writers' conference at every oppty. It's who you know. #pubtip

Your writer friend love you, but what you really need is a critique from a pro who doesn't care about your feelings. #pubtip

When pitching your book, don't claim "bestseller" status if it was only on Amazon. Just say how many you sold. #PUBTIP

When you pitch your book, remember: My name isn't "agent." #pubtip

Don't tell an editor you've self-pub'd 100 books. Did any of them sell 5,000 copies? Tell her about that one. #pubtip

Leverage every rejection as an oppty to learn, not an excuse to be bitter..#pubtip

When an agent asks you for the genre of your book, PLEASE don't say "fiction." Tells him nothing. #pubtip

When an agent asks you for a word count, don't tell him how many pages or chapters. Not helpful in the least. #pubtip
