Thus keep it timeless and write from the heart. #writing #pubtip

Insight from #PNWA17 editors: Don’t get too caught up in trends; publishing cycle is so long you might miss them anyway. #writing #pubtip

Don't ask the agent out in your query. You might think it's flattering, but really it's just uncomfortable. #querytip

Oh gosh, please do not query in all caps? It can be very overwhelming if you are literally shouting about your book.....#querytip

A book could get rejected 99 times & find perfect home on submission 100. Take feedback & use it to improve book, but don't give up #pubtip

I get asked this question a lot without time to answer beyond "individual cases vary." This is a fantastic in-depth answer. #pubtip

#PubTip #QueryTip Here's the original query letter (with my notes!) by @MarRogerson at @WritersDigest = writersdigest.com/editor-blogs/g…

I tried scrolling through #kidpit but man, a lot of those pitches over images are hard to read. Don't make it hard on agents guys. #querytip

Dear Writers,
Comic Sans is NEVER a good idea.
#QueryTip

I'm over at @PubCrawlBlog today with a post about the dreaded Pre-Query. #querytip #amquerying publishingcrawl.com/2017/07/21/pre…

Just a reminder that @pandamoonpub is closing submissions until Spring 2018 on August 1st. #amwriting #pubtip #amreading

This is your semi-regular reminder to remove "aspiring" from your bio. If you write, you're a writer! #PitchWars #QueryTip

Read books within the genre & category you're writing. Notice what they do well #writingtip #querytip

Gentle reminder to queriers that a query is a business letter. Aim for professional (not informal) & confident (but not arrogant). #querytip

Also, if you say you're wiling to change MC age/audience market, I'm unsure you really believe in your own book #CLAqueries #querytip

Why is the storyline acting against your genre or age category? They should go hand in hand #CLAqueries #querytip #amquerying (2/2)

Whenever I see "Despite the storyline, this is a [genre]", I raise on eyebrow. #CLAqueries #querytip #amquerying (1/2)

Authors, I really don't care what your page count is—I care about your word count. Page counts can change with fonts. Words don't. #querytip

If you think I'd like your ms, there's no need to ask permission to query. Follow the guidelines & submit! #querytip manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/laur…

Know your own weasel words (words and phrases you repeat over and over) & do a search for them in your manuscript before you submit #pubtip
