#PubTip: publishing is full of highs & lows, disappointments & triumphs. Make sure you have a community that'll help you weather the storm.

If I haven't read in a couple months, email nicely inquiring. Don't send hostile email assuming I passed bc silence for a few weeks. #pubtip

It can take me months to get to reading a submission. Please don't assume silence is a pass. Just means I haven't read yet. #pubtip

Back Cover Blurb: Tease readers
Book: Gradually give info
Review: Share impressions without spoiling

#querytip if you mention in your author bio you're an English teacher, you better damn well make sure your 1st 10 pages use proper grammar

#pubtip if you're a first-time writer, the first two digits of your manuscript's word count shouldn't be 14.

Quick reminder that Sunday is the last day to send me your queries! On Monday I'll be closing submissions until July or August. #querytip

But...I wanted to give another #pubtip #querytip. While responses to agents like this make me tearlaugh 😂😂😂, don't do it, writers, not this.

Authors, if you know your wordcount is high for the genre... edit before querying! Don't tell us it could be split if needed. #querytip

At least I'm in good company on the non-BCCed mass query (with attachment!) I just got. How many no boxes can one query tick? #querytip
