#pubtip: if your email title won't fit in a tweet, just walk away. #badqueries

#pubtip: If you're querying w/ nonfiction, it's ESSENTIAL you include info about your platform in letter. Or I'll assume there isn't one.

Writers, take note: "eyebrow" and "brow" are not the same thing. Your brow is your forehead. #pubtip #writing #editortip

that time I wanted to tweet something truly inappropriate and unprofessional? I didn't do it. TAKE NOTE! #pubtip

The Hunger Games, Divergent, and Twilight listed together are BAD comp titles. #pubtip #agenting

My acquisitions editor @StephPostAuthor and I have been going over some stellar #submissions. Keep them coming! #mswl #amwriting #pubtip

#pubtip Remember we use genres to know where to market your book and where the bookbuyers will place your book for readers.

#pubtip The genres that are out there are pretty clear. Making up your own genre now doesn't make your story special.

Also, please don't do yourself a disservice & rush getting your submission in that isn't there yet. I'll be open again in the Fall. #pubtip

Unless you have an offer on the table, don't specify to an agent when you'd like to hear from him/her. #wrongfoot #pubtip

What @OrlyKonigLopez learned reading submissions. Great slush pile tips! writersinthestormblog.com/2014/07/what-i… #pubtip

#pubtip Just tell us about the story. Keep it simple and straight to the point.

#pubtip I wouldn't recommend having a memorized "elevator pitch" You come across as sounding fake.

Remember that your icons are branding. If you have a wholesome story for children and a risqué Gmail icon, well...it's confusing. #PubTip

A funny from a query: "according to your agency's website, you are actively seeking..." My agency has no website. #pubtip

Dear Queriers: Query your ms not because you're tired of it but because you love it. (Agents can taste the difference.) #pubtip #query

The only queries I outright delete are the ones sent to me and 1000 other agents, visible in the CC field. #pubtip
