The latest The Write Shadow Times! paper.li/TheWriteShadow… Thanks to @msheatherwebb @sonyahuber @JamesLeeSchmidt #pubtip #amwriting

Don't think you need a subject line? I have never requested more material from a query w/o a subject. #querytip

Here's a #querytip: please keep a spreadsheet/list of agents queried so you don't send the same thing to someone who already passed on it.

Quick #querytip: When an agent requests pages, you can make our lives so much easier by naming the document the title of your manuscript!

Because their quick read means you had a great pitch, that they were excited and interested. Not that they didn't read your work.#pubtip 2/2

Here's a #pubtip. If an agent or editor read something quickly, then pass, don't complain that they didn't "really read it." 1/2

Great read for pb writers! #pubtip

Don't miss it! "How to get an agent" PLUS: I critique everyone's query letter. Sign up for my 8/11 webinar bit.ly/23azNht #pubtip

#querytip Just because one agent doesn't connect doesn't mean that another won't. Don't despair, keep at it! #writing

Read each one on its own and decide if it’s an interesting sentence when isolated. #querytip

#querytip Been seeing a few book proposals for fiction complete with chapter outlines. BP's are not needed & not productive for fiction work

You do not need to beg me to read your query. That's my actual job. #pubtip

#querytip Why waste time sending an agent a genre that they say they do not rep. Spend your time wisely and sub the right agents #research

#querytip We love clear concise queries! No guessing genre, word count or hook! With hundreds of subs you have limited to draw us in.#GO!

#querytip We really appreciate the writers who thank us for reviewing their query. We may not have time to respond but do appreciate it!
