Sometimes people w/the least amt of "free" time are able to write more than full-time writers. Why? Focus. #pubtip

Also? If you have an offer elsewhere, tell everyone who has your query/pages! They could throw their name in the ring or wish you luck. Don’t make me waste time reading 50 pages and requesting the full of something already repped. #querytip #amquerying

To clarify to a certain response 🙄 agents rarely ever ask for exclusives to your ms unless it’s an R&R! If they ask you to query 1 at a time, that’s bull. You are free to query as many agents (at separate agencies) as you want #querytip #amquerying

#Writers, when you query me Jan 2 and then withdraw that query on Jan 27 due to "no response" (though QM sends an auto confirmation of query), it tells me you have no patience for the industry and care more about yourself than the team you want to work with. #querytip #amquerying

Love how many queries I'm seeing that start with "I chose you because of how much you love championing LGBTQ+ representation."
All the yes. Let's get more out there! #amagenting #querytip #amquerying

#pubtip Trying to blend a lot of different genres in your book does not get you more readers. In most cases, you turned off those who liked one of the genres and are not fans of those others. Keep it simple. Cross genre is fine, but the kitchen sink approach hurts.

I don't mind long adult SFF word counts,up to 160k. I've even requested longer when premise was particularly tight&engaging. May request trimming if I'm offering.
I can, however, tell w/in 1st page whether all those words were used wisely or not.
