If an agent passes on a project, don't ask them to reconsider. Move on. It's not right for that agent but may be perfect for others. #Pubtip

Writing a memoir? Guess what, I also want to see a proposal. Memoirs need to read like a novel but are sold like non fiction. #pubtip

#PubTip for science fiction = unlike other genres (romance, young adult), we can have 3-5 points of view in epic SF. Not 11 POV though.

#PubTip for science fiction = think balance. World building should be complex and interesting yet organically introduced to the reader.
