Ohhh, call me "honey" when sending a nasty response to a rejection? <blocked forever> #pubtip

Friends don't let friends take their book problems to twitter. It won't end well. Talk it out. Hug it out. #pubtip #LA14SCBWI

New trend I'm seeing in genre and YA: empaths #publishing #pubtip #trend

Don't let feelings fester. Sometimes silence is just silence. Publishing is a partnership. Trust. Communicate. #pubtip #LA14SCBWI

Think about your work's "share-ability." Will others be excited to share it and talk about it with others? #pubtip #LA14SCBWI
