"Writing cannot be taught, though it can be learned." - Joseph Epstein #pubtip

Rejection isn't the end. It's part of the tailoring process. Your perfect editor, that perfect fit, is there. Patience wins. #pubtip

#PubTip = if you're active on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, etc. - include this info on your website and business card. Cross promote!

Your book isn't going to work unless you do. You're the best advocate for your book, no one else. Get the right team & get to work. #pubtip

An outside reader can spot your tics. Search your manuscript and replace overused words. Diverse vocab makes for interesting books! #pubtip
