Now that @SFWC is here, let's talk about How to Make a #WritersConference Schedule Work for You: fuseliterary.com/how-to-make-a-… #pubtip

I'm less interested in the All The Things That Ever Happened To Me memoir than One Very Significant Thing & How I Dealt w/It kind. #pubtip

Unless an agent expresses interest in seeing a revision, don't resubmit. #pubtip

So important! #pubtip

If there's an unsubscribe option in your query, then you have not written a query. #pubtip (And I will most definitely unsubscribe.)

My new motto
#pubtip #agenting

Today's cranky #pubtip: authors, before you submit something, for the love of God make sure you've turned off Track Changes.

This is literally always true #writetip #amwriting #pubtip

The best part of #AWP17 is when the literary agents battle in single combat under the midnight sky, over the authors we've found. #pubtip

Query = cover letter for job application. You want to be "hired" to write. So tell us your qualifications & why you want the "job". #pubtip

No no no no. You don't query me and say "if you want to know more about this book, email me." That's not how it works. #pubtip

Writers! Your genre is NOT "general fiction." #pubtip

#PubTip: Don't reply to unrelated, non-MSWL tweets by agents/editors with pitches/buy-links for your projects. It doesn't get us interested.

A rejection from an editor is generally a rejection of a project, not an author. Don't shy away from submitting a new manuscript. #pubtip

The latest The Write Shadow Times! paper.li/TheWriteShadow… Thanks to @Somemyrrh @BairdBev @C0nservativeGal #pubtip #amwriting

Tricky thing about writing historicals: anachronisms. You have to keep an eye out for words/phrases that weren't in use back then. #pubtip

If characters are happy & content before the climax of your romance, then conflict is probably not strong enough. Torture them more. #pubtip

Sometimes a story doesn't work because the writing voice doesn't fit the genre. #pubtip
