Twitter Tuesday~Editor & Agent Advice

It was another great week on Twitter for writers. I even had the opportunity to jump in on a few great, spontaneous chats with agents and editors. Here are some of the best links I found last week:

Tired of querying and getting nowhere? Then you must read this:

This is a really interesting post about what happens after you sell your book.
