Don't worry what your writer friends are doing. Focus on your writing, your publisher, your team, your career, YOUR dream. #pubtip

The more typos & mistakes in your ms, the longer it takes your agent to read/edit it. Do a good proofread before sending, please! #PubTip

I admit to being mind-boggled that some writers disdain a quick query response. Why is it better to be left waiting? #pubtip. #befuddled

Again, here's this #pubtip. Please do not complain if we reply swiftly to your query. It does not mean you weren't given true consideration.
