Don't rush your first book. Don't rush any books for that matter. The extra time you save getting your book out there sooner won't be worth all the time you spend after, wishing you had given it a little more attention and care.#writerslife

Don't fear the Slush Pile. Authors such as J.K. Rowling and Joseph Conrad were discovered there. #AskAgent #MSWL #PubTip #GetPublished lithub.com/the-editor-who…

Authors! Save yourself some time and automate what you can! Start a folder "business of writing". Include:-long/short bio & press kit info
-images of book covers
-useful PDFs (skype info, etc)
-website links
-book synopses
If you reference it often, add it!
Excellent advice! #pubtip

More #grammartips: When to use "I" or "me". "I" is a subject; "me" is an object. "Joe and I went to dinner." BUT "Come to dinner with Joe and me." Test yourself by taking out the name. Does it still sound correct? (You wouldn't say "Come to dinner with I.") #pubtip #writing

When reading submissions, I don't pass on a manuscript for a few typos. I do pass on a manuscript when there is significant data dump. #pubtipAnd I pass on a manuscript when I don’t want to keep reading—which is often when there IS a significant data dump. #pubtip Good tip, @SaraMegibow

Do you have pet words that you tend to repeat too often? A document search will inevitably reveal two things:1) That, yes, you need to replace and vary your word choice.
2) That these echoed words are inevitably used in places you should tighten up, anyway.

Going to say it again: if you’re an author, you shouldn’t alter your twitter handle.Not only is it a brand recognition issue to use some funny, temporary thing. It likewise makes it impossible for your agent or editor or colleague to tag you if the new handle isn’t known.

A rejection doesn't necessarily mean there's anything wrong with your MS. Sometimes I really like a MS, but if I don't LOVE it, I can't represent it. Another agent might go bananas over the same project. Very subjective. #BestFit #pubtip #amquerying

Rejections are hard for you and for us. We’re not rejecting YOU, just this particular project. You might send us another project that we MUST have. Or another agent might love the one we rejected. In the end, we’re all looking for the right fit. #amquerying #pubtip #amagenting
