It takes me exactly three clicks to make sure all your future emails skips my inbox forever and I will officially be doing that from now on if you send me a snarky, rude, or angry response to a rejection.I’m gonna take this most excellent policy and institute it myself. #pubtip

Today's #pubtip thread is about rejections. For more than 11 years, I have spent every working day both dishing out and receiving multiple rejections daily. It's given me Opinions on how to reject others well & a lot of judgment about people who do it badly. Boo, you people. Boo

My #pubtip tweet thread loyalists :royal wave: will recall that I look at clients and potential clients as a microbiome - a teeming multivariable entity of strengths and weaknesses. Qualifications, authority, voice, marketability, charisma - I’m thinking about them all.

#Pubtip Remember that while one trope or sub-genre might work for one publisher, it does not mean it will work for someone else. Each publisher has their own unique market and following!

Today's #pubtip: among first-time authors, I think *the* most common source of surprise and disappointment is the book tour or lack thereof. This is where I truly want to kill shows like The Affair and, well, any other popular media depiction of the book publishing experience.

Finished a book that I hated and accidentally left it at the coffeeshop & now I hope someone takes it and reads it and enjoys all the “WHAT THE FUCK,” “then WHO CARES” notes in the margins. pic.twitter.com/tvvVzlpo5yBasically your number one job as a writer is to make sure your reader never says Then Who Cares about your characters/plot. #pubtip

Today's #pubtip: in book publishing and in life, you are deluding yourself that you'll stop feeling undeserving and insecure if you just achieve x, whether that's publishing a book, selling x number of copies, losing weight, whatever. You are straight-up deluding yourself.

And I’m totally not ragging on self-publishing. It’s a way to go. But it’s not everyone’s way to go if traditional publishing is actually where you want to be. Just be smart about what you want to do and in what order. That’s all. #pubtip

Today's #pubtip: book writing is a really, really terrible career to get into if you just want cool people to like you. Being an agent is a much better choice if that's your personality type. LOL.

Here is something you learn over and over when you're a literary agent who reps nonfiction by extremely smart and perceptive people, often about social justice and often by women: the first person to be right about something usually comes off as a little annoying. #pubtip
