Twitter Tuesday~Contest & #Pubtips

If you write literary fiction you don't want to miss Chuck Sambuchino's contest! It's judged by agent Lindsey Clemons:

Agent Weronika Janczuk gives us a bit of golden advice that will help keep you sane while you're submitted:
@WeronikaJanczuk Write something new when you're querying. Always. It's beneficial for an agent to work with writers with multiple mss done. #pubtip

Weronika gives us a bit more great advice on the ever popular #pubtip hashtag:
@WeronikaJanczuk If you query widely and one agent asks for an exclusive, you are free to decline to give it, out of courtesy for the others. #pubtip

If you're submitting or about to be, you NEED to read this. Agent Natalie Fischer gives us some tips on what not to do in a query:
@Natalie_Fischer The absolute WORST things to do in a query (or, how to annoy the hell out of an agent): http://bit.ly/g85Zod

Super agent Deirdre Knight gives us a heads up on what not to put in a query:
@DeidreKnight Pub tip: Don't include your protagonist's physical description in query or pitch unless it relates to the plot. #pubtip #askagent

Looking up at the Twitter links I'm kind of amazed at all the different tweets from great people that I came across! It just goes to show that it pays off to follow a variety of people on Twitter. Or to just check my Twitter Tuesday's. ;-)

  18. Hi, Heather,

    I can't miss you twitter Tuesday.... I've been editing for hours and hours. I'm giving myself a break. I've got five chapters done.... twelve more to go. I'm cutting it close, but I know I'll make it.

    I am still so happy that you're entering.

    Roland was kind enough to read my edited first chapter. I'm happy to say he loved it. This made my week.

    As always great links. I can't wait to be able to check them out.

    Michael
