Conventions are AMAZING when it comes to schmoozing w/ agents and editors. Attend them and mingle. i.e. rtconvention.com/eventworkshop/… #querytip

Janet Reid, Literary Agent: QueryTip: Subject lines are your BFFs buff.ly/1keLF9W #querytip

#KidLit agent @sarasciuto of @ForewordLit seeks PB, MG, YA, fiction & NF. Genres & guidelines here: ow.ly/widxk #pubtip

GUESS WHAT! I'm not a publicist. So don't email me and ask me to promote your self-published book for you. #snarly #pubtip

Don't start ur ms off with your character waking up for the day. Even if they're a kid and it's the first day of school. #querytip #writetip

It's really obvious if a writer tries to write a genre they don't read. Don't do this. #pubtip

A query in which an author criticizes other agents isn't appealing. Explain previous agent relationships w/professionalism #querytip

Please review your query to make sure you inserted everything you meant to. Please know the diff betw your and you're. #querytip

edittorrent: How to Put It Together Into One Neat Tweet buff.ly/1fnmshG #pubtip

Every sentence of ur story should be seeped in tension. Even whispers between lovers. Everything in life is in conflict. #querytip #writetip

NEW AGENT: @Michrichter1 of @ForewordLit seeks lit fic, women's commercial, thrillers, mysteries, nonfic ow.ly/wicSQ #pubtip

The best fiction is steeped in fact. Examples: @ChrisBohjalian’s Skeletons at the Feast, and the new #SalemWGNA tv show. #querytip #writetip

#querytip no need to notify me if another agent has requested more of your MS; just give me a heads up when you have an offer on the table

What IS a Literary Agent? buff.ly/1tTeh0g via @poetswritersinc #pubtip

The best query letters are short and professional. No frills, no gimmicks, just a cover letter for your manuscript. #querytip

#querytip The day-to-day emails we send may be informal/familiar, but email queries are professional business documents; treat them as such.

#querytip Funny queries can be great (and memorable), but only if the project you're pitching is funny

I’ve literally had this headache for an entire day. Don’t query when you have a headache. Is that a good #querytip? Sorry, my mind is fried.

#pubtip: Get a critique group. ow.ly/wfHLQ

Tropes do not become stale, people's delivery of those tropes become stale. Leave your stamp on everything you touch. #querytip #writetip
