    My 15 year old niece told me she likes reading Tessa Bailey and I nearly fainted… Y’all. Please send age appropriate romance suggestions. I’m going to preorder Thalia’s and Rebekah’s YA romances. I don’t care if there is sex in it, it needs to be age-respectful sex. LORDT!

    Times are changing. Publishing is changing. No longer are the days when people lined up outside stores to get that new release or preorder like they used to. People want instant gratification which is why publishers need to push the book AFTER it is published not just before.

    Like if you’ve ever: - been rejected - received a bad review - queried too soon - had writers block - been given bad advice - attached the wrong file - felt like you’ve been ignored in publishing The point is, we’ve all been there.❤️ #writerslife

    I hate writing “rejection” letters. I hate even calling them that. Just because a book doesn’t work for me doesn’t mean it’s not good or valid or that someone else won’t love it. I know it’s hard getting passes, but I promise it’s hard to send them too ❤️

    25% of the queries I looked at this morning started with the character waking up. Authors - You can do better. I promise. #querytip #SlushInsight

    Now size 6 is trending, so let’s have a little more of this energy! ❤️
    Screenshot of a tweet (I think that’s what this is, I got it from Facebook) and it says- My 12yo just tried on a pair of snow pants that were too small and said, “I think my things and butt are too powerful for these pants.” Just think how quickly the diet industry would fail if more of us thought like her.

    FYI: Out of the 20 queries I’ve read so far today, 3 started with a character waking up, and 2 started with a dream. Authors, I promise there’re more interesting dropping in points. This is such a common used opening it just doesn’t stand out. #QueryTip #WritingTip #AmWriting

    The number of queries I’ve seen lately with 200k & 300k words has been a little concerning so I thought I’d try to take a moment to chat about high word counts… a 🧵 #amquerying #QueryTip #WritingCommunity

    I think it's wild that publishing still wants to use preorders as a way to gauge how well a book will sell. We live in a world of instant gratification. People don't want to buy something & wait 3 months; they want it now! The world has changed, I think publishing needs to too❤️

    I have officially lost count of how many queries I've read today that start with the character waking up. Next most popular opening has been on an airplane. #querytip #amquerying

    As an agent, I always think it's important to leave supportive notes to my clients. I think they appreciate them. ❤️🔪
