"They fall in love" is not a romance novel plot. That's the minimum requirement. Plot = how that happens against all odds. #pubtip

30K words is not an adult novel. #pubtip

The longer you keep a story element secret from your readers, the bigger the payoff should be when you finally reveal it. #pubtip

5 Query Letter Writing Tips From Publishing Professionals: adweek.it/1WmD6Aw #pubtip

Social media is where you build your brand and community, it's not the fairy godmother of book sales. #pubtip

"Social media" itself isn't a marketing strategy, it's a noun. #pubtip

A brief reminder: you can't sell a novel for adults that's under 70,000 words. Sorry folks. #pubtip

Or for stories in which a sexy, mysterious young man tells a seemingly ordinary girl that she has superpowers. #pubtip

I'll consider YA, but I'm a very tough sell for stories about being accepted to a very difficult and possibly murderous school... #pubtip
