Please don't say you've met me, when I KNOW we haven't met because I've never been to the place where you said we'd met. #pubtip #amquerying #amwriting

#pubtip To create realistic and compelling characters for your novels, look around you. Let the "real" people around you be your models. You don't have to reinvent the wheel.

In this months newsletter: bison, geysers, my recent agent-related drama, and what to do when something is standing in the way of your creativity. mailchi.mp/c3706539803a/s… pic.twitter.com/ZmnIY2IxCyLove this! "You're strong. You don't need a special coffee shop or a conference or class or three hours of free time in a row to create." #kidlit #pubtip #WritingLife

#pubtip for the AM... Agents and editors have SPECIFIC submission guidelines. Follow those. Do not try to find short cuts. Do not try do something different. This does not show your eagerness, but your lack of an ability to follow directions (or maybe read).

#pubtip If you are unclear about whether a premise works, you can always ask. Don't pitch but ask..."I have written a novel I think is Women's Fiction because the women in my house love it. Is this truly WF?"

#pubtip I am going to say this again. Do your research. I spent the weekend rejecting people who submitted projects to me that I do not represent. One submitted directly from my website where the guidelines are clear.

I realized that the craft book I was working on was missing an entire section that I always proclaim as being an important part of the writing process. #pubtip Had to remember reviewing your writing from a distance is a MUST!

A thread! In the wake of the Lupine Grove fiasco, I am seeing a lot of “compare notes with other clients of your agent to keep tabs on your agent”-type posts. And I get the impulse. HOWEVER. Maybe don't start from a place of doubt?This is SUCH A GOOD THREAD. Thank you for laying this out there, @molly_oneill. #pubtip #kidlit

My biggest and best #pubtip for querying authors: always, ALWAYS look at an agent's listing on Absolute Write. Someone might seem professional because there's a lot of ways to hide scams in this biz. Read the forums.Second #pubtip: Agency reputations and rankings can obscure a LOT of bad. If you're seeing agents talk only about these things and you're not hearing any authors tooting their horn, something is deeply wrong. ALWAYS ASK OTHER AUTHORS.
