Recommend @JaneFriedman How to Find a Literary Agent great resource for writers looking for representation #pubtip janefriedman.com/2015/04/29/fin…

Lots of upcoming conferences, so I'm closed to queries for a while. Still want to pitch me? Check my schedule speilburgliterary.com/upcoming-confe… #pubtip

#Authors here's the best advice I can give you. Focus on the things you can control. Work with a great team & never give up #pubtip

Your subject line is valuable real estate, and putting my name in it does nothing for you. Mention your genre/title/hook instead. #querytip

►REMINDER: Twitter pitch party for fiction manuscripts (YA, NA, and A) is on 6/26/2015, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., EST ► #WritePit #amwriting #PubTip

#querytip: Don't offer an exclusive unless asked for one...and be skeptical of anyone who does ask. Exclusives benefit the agent, not you!

#QueryTip = don't do this, "...well, if you've read this far into my query I'm impressed." #agenting #pubtip

Know the difference between science fiction and fantasy. There is a huge difference, and you should know it. #querytip #writetip

#PubTip for young adult authors = write for teens, not for what you think teens need to learn. Too much agenda in recent YA submissions.

Reminder: make sure to "Accept All Changes" in Word before sending a doc or copy-pasting into an email! #pubtip

Query personalization is nice if genuine but it's not necessary. Don't force it, e.g. "I think we'd be a great fit bc you rep YA." #querytip
