Twitter Tuesday~Query Tips, Conferences, And Contests

Amidst the craziness of debuting I managed to snag a few great tweets for you. Here is one from my writer friend Tori Scott about Amazon entering the publishing realm:
@ToriScott All Eyes on Amazon Publishing: tinyurl.com/4ykrzsj #writetip

Agent Vickie Motter brings a great opportunity to our attention:
@Vickie_Motter RT: Inaugural Seattle Publishing Salon for Writers: wp.me/pRGY1-pr

Agent Sarah LaPolla gives us a bit of query advice:
@sarahlapolla Writers, stop sending pre-queries & "Do you rep this?" emails. They waste everyone's time. Just query. Worst that happens is it's a no.

Writer Monica B.W. announces another agent-judged contest on her blog!
@Monica_BW Psst, Tweeps, by the end of the month I'm having another agent-judged contest on my blog!! Details + interview coming next Monday! :D

Jane Friedman of Writer's Digest gives us valuable highlights from the Willamette Writers Conference:
@JaneFriedman 3 invaluable takeaways for writers from the Willamette Writers Conference: http://ow.ly/5ZgjB #wwcon11

Agent Sarah LaPolla gives us fair warning:
@sarahlapolla Writers: Please check sites like Absolute Write and Writer's Beware before signing with an agent. I've been seeing some awful, scary things.

And of course I bring you another great book giveaway (okay it's not from me, it's from Carolina Valdez Miller, cause she rocks!):
@HeatherMcCorkle Enter to win a copy of The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer & Possess from @Cvaldezmiller! tinyurl.com/42w2kvz #WritersRoad #writing

Writer Jolina Joy bring us this tweet of agent advice:
@Jolina_Joy An agent explains what you should bring to a conference:bit.ly/njQqi4 @RachelleGardner @elizabethscraig #writing #amwriting #writetip

Agent Vickie Motter announces the genres she's looking for:
@Vickie_Motter #queries Along with YA fantasy and scifi, I would LOVE a YA romance--good summer sort of read, along the lines of Sarah Dessen

  5. Love that article on Amazon publishing. It's sort of like watching a soap opera where you're playing a bit part, or hoping to, but the politics might do you in.
