It's really obvious if a writer tries to write a genre they don't read. Don't do this. #pubtip

BREAKING BEAUTIFUL by @jenniferswolf opens with wake up scene (for good reason). So, waking up isn't a deal breaker if it's relevant #pubtip

#PubTip = Opening pages with someone waking up can feel generic. Of 25 sample page submissions this weekend, 9 opened with wake up scenes.

If you Q via a mass mailing of agents, don't be surprised at the lack of response.#pubtip

Your comps don't have to be books. You can use TV and movies, too. Anything that isn't forced and gives us an image works. #Pubtip

“You want to create relationships. That’s the best way to sell your book.” - @Kerrie_Flanagan #PPWC2014 #pubtip

#pubtip: R+Rs should prompt an entire revision, not just a change of the things an agent mentioned.

How to find an agent by genre? I recommend agentquery.com #pubtip #queries

A novel Q w/more stats on the potential readership than info on the story doesn't work for me. Tell me something I don't know-STORY! #pubtip

Please don't give up. Talk to me, fight with me, get mad and come back with solutions. But don't give up. It breaks my heart. #pubtip

A new agent = easier to get bc 0 clients occupy her time. She wants you to fix that & fill an empty list. #Pubtip ow.ly/vZAQo

Writers - it's not ok to borrow elements (characters, etc.)from other writers' works without permission. #pubtip
