If we passed via the submissions@knightagency.net email, then don't turn around and query us again, or the agents individually, pls. #pubtip

An important #pubtip. A pass from our agency (and most) by submissions coordinator, or one agent, is a pass from the whole agency. 1/2

If you haven't read @ericsmithrocks's post on social media for writers yet, you are MISSING OUT: bit.ly/2aF5SNr #pubtip

Settings can be a huge selling hook. Don't forget to tell us where your book takes place! #pubtip

Here's why 2/2 #pubtip. It's literally impossible to provide that type of critique with the sheer volume of queries. We'd be yrs behind.

Morning #pubtip: if an agent passes on your query, please don't ask them, "what did you think of the concept?" Or for feedback or critique.

Don’t just throw in a diverse character into your query in order to “qualify” it for my list. #QueryFail #PubTip #CLAQueries

Librarians curate much in the same way agents do. Curious? Ask your librarian why some books are acquired and some aren't. #pubtip

Just posted a #pubtip on the Greyhaus Literary Agency FB page. Work on that confidence!

#pubtip Find your voice. Don't copy the voice of another author.

Writers, when I talk about loving books that are "conversation starters" this is exactly what I mean: bsl.io/kEK #pubtip

Good morning, all! What's everyone up to so far? I'm working on emails and some queries. #pubtip Pls don't ask for feedback about your query

#PubTip = advances aren't paid all upfront - they are paid in chunks that can stretch over years. Budget responsibly!

#PubTip = KEEP a copy of your publishing contract (and know where it is).

I mention the #pubtip b/c it's amazing how often, over the past 20 yrs, I HAVE encountered suspicion & paranoia. Nobody stealing your idea!

Here's a #pubtip. Once you're in query/submission process, set aside suspicion & paranoia--*if* you've researched the agency and it's legit.

I know that may seem nitpicky (if it made sense, condensed 140). But I honestly think it's a sign of less immediacy in *some* cases.#pubtip

2/2 #pubtip It reads as less immediate, less deep pov, using "as" or "while" in opening sentence. Clunky, too. Aim for more dynamic opening.

The Author Training Manual by @NinaAmir is now 99¢. That's 95% off the paperback price! ow.ly/LVO53033yVm #amwriting #WriteTip #PubTip

SFF writers! Avoid made-up words in your title. If the title's hard to remember, the submission won't stick. #pubtip
