Hunting agents is not the way to get an agent. Don’t follow them around at conferences. Don’t try to FaceTime them or drunk-chat. #querytip

Titles matter! If title hits sour note is dated or of already famous novel it's a strike against you #literaryagent #querytip

Study your craft. #writetip Study queries. #querytip

When writing a query letter, always address an agent by name. #querytip http://t.co/749rYDcjpd

Most things can't be done alone. Writing and querying is the same. Someone should always read your work and critique it. #querytip #writetip

I want the author to take what I’ve shown them and use it to correct the same mistakes elsewhere. It concerns me if they don’t. #pubtip 2/2

I look for growth after an R&R. If I’ve edited typos & grammar, I want those mistakes fixed in the revised manuscript. #pubtip 1/2

So thrilled to be doing another @WritersDigest webinar! Oct 16 "How to get an agent" bit.ly/XibDoo #pubtip

Be sure to include the genre in your query letter #querytip http://t.co/NT45GjLjkg

You’re only a writer if you write. If you want to be a writer, but not put in the time & effort to write, you’re a fool. #querytip #writetip

*sigh* Please double space, please use 12 point font #querytip

I'm 100% for the validity of self-publishing, but some of these covers, you guys. Yow. This is why I let someone else fix my car. #pubtip

Agents aren't amused at this trick, either: Via @nprnews: BP Lawyers Use Old-School Trick; Judge Not Amused n.pr/1uFEDm8 #pubtip

#Querytip Just read the most awesome sub a mystery, made me say OMG! #yesplease Crossing fingers that the story follows query goodness

#querytip If agent passes on story. Don't take it personally,we can't pick all. Not a good plan to respond to pass with a neg. comment

#querytip It's always a good idea to research/read books in the genre that you write.

#querytip for me, an automatic decline would be a query with just a link to website or Amazon.
