Writers, looking for help crafting a hook or a dazzling first page? I'm teaching a class 6/30! #pubtip @WritersDigest bit.ly/1eo2La6

Your cover letter should be about your book and perhaps a brief note about yourself. Don't make it an auto-biography. #pubtip

Only submit your manuscript to places that publish your type of story. Sending a gory thriller to romance publishers - not good. #pubtip

Just requested to read full manuscript. Submission took series tropes and made them fun, sexy, intriguing. Turn a trope on its head! #pubtip

Writers ~ not a good idea to write your Qs from the POV of your protagonist. #pubtip

On to next slush submission. Writer references #Seinfeld in first few pages. Hooked. #pubtip

Of course, there's always the exception to the rule...but putting your manuscript in a different "person" than what we pub is hard. #pubtip

If they seem to publish manuscripts only in the first- or third-person, then they might not love manuscripts in the alternate POV. #pubtip

Slush reading this morning. Familiarize yourself with the series you're submitting to. Do they pub in first- or third-person? #pubtip

I question whether nine year old boys use words like spiffy, verisimilitude or dexterous. Go for #real over #impressive. #pubtip

MT @laurafjones: Don't title submission to publishers w/ 'Dear Sirs'. Research who you're submitting to (they *may* be female!) #pubtip

#PubTip = Yes, I'm open to revised & resubmitted queries and manuscripts. Biggest mistake however is usually that the revision is too light.

Try Try Try to avoid doing this, "Can I resend my sample pages? I just thought of one more thing to change in the manuscript." #pubtip

Ever wonder why agents have so many RULES in their submission guidelines? relentlesswriters.blogspot.com/2015/06/reason… #askagent #querytip #pubtip #slushpile
