Twitter Tuesday~Giveaways & Agent Advice

I'm sorry I don't  have a lot of Tweets for you this week but the holidays have kept me pretty busy. I did manage to catch a few really good ones though! Writers I know how curious you always are on what kind of trends agents are seeing in submission. Agent Mandy Hubbard reveals it here brought to us by my Twitter friend at LTWFblog:
@LTWFblog Literary Agent and Multi-Pubbed Author @MandyHubbard Posts On Trends in the Slush Pile: http://t.co/ZF1Oqi6 #amwriting #pubtip #writechat
(For my non-Twitter friends, a reminder that # followed by a word is a hashtag that allows you to search for any tweet that has it attached)

If you're submitting or plan to be soon, or even if you just want a good funny read, then you'll want to get in on this great giveaway by Chuck Sambuchino of Writer's Digest. Look what you could win:

  5. Once again your Tuesday post was insightful and vastly helpful. I read the posts linked and hate that I do not Tweet so as to listen to the new intern. Alas, I am a man of high hopes and low tech!

    May magic sparkle throughout the rest of your Christmas week! Roland
