I find myself once again resharing this 6 year old post about how I'm over the Chosen One trope: ktliterary.com/2010/06/one-gi… #queries #PubTip

If you're writing #historical, do your research. Make sure names, expressions & slang were all actually used during the time period #pubtip

News, #pubtip, and @lzats stoking the flames of Angry YA Twitter while I try to name the penguin Franzen thinks should replace our children

So smart, lots of great advice here. Writers, read this! #pubtip

When pitching your fantasy novel, trim down the world details to the most baseline, compelling, easily-accessible elements. #pubtip

Did a guest post on manuscriptwishlist.com! The Ideal Client: A Literary Agent’s Wish List: manuscriptwishlist.com/2016/09/the-id… #MSWL #askagent #pubtip

#pubtip = Sit on your manuscript for a bit before editing. But also...sit on editorial feedback for a bit before editing.

Agents WANT to love your work. Know that passing on projects that deserve pub but aren't the right fit for whatever reason...sucks. #pubtip

Good advice for us all! #writingtips, #pubtip, #lifetip #amwriting

#pubtip - Agents know what they've requested, and what they definitely *didn't* request. You can't trick someone into reading your mss.

First 2-3 Tues in Sept are insane release days. So many good titles. So much competition. Hint: avoid if possible. #pubtip

ICYMI, another About My Query post is up on the blog! Thanks to @SaraMegibow for the insight! ktliterary.com/2016/09/about-… #pubtip

No one judges work on word count alone. But there are expectations for every genre. #pubtip #PitchSlam

If you write suspense, you've got to do your research: more than just watching procedurals. Talk to people, read all you can. #pubtip

Aspiring authors: only create social media accounts prior to finding agent/pub if you can maintain them! #pubtip

If you do only one thing the week of your book release - make sure your author website is updated! #pubtip
