After 18 years, Paragraph is closing on July 31st. The building has been sold and we must vacate. But we will continue our virtual community as we try to find a physical home again. To that end, we’ve started a GoFundMe: gofundme.com/f/paragraph-ne… Thank you for your support! ❤️
Susan Shapiro asks the panelists to give advice on getting your book published. Howard Yoon says "Be a student of the business. Study the NYTimes list, read book reviews, read in the genre you're trying to write. If you're not 100% committed, you can't expect 100% back."
"Build a community. It's slow work, it's hard work, but it's necessary... they'll be there to celebrate with you... to commiserate with you... and often you can find a connection with an agent or an editor that way." – Dan López on starting your career
"Look at comp titles not just for your proposal – really dig into the comp titles. How is the book ordered? What is the narrative structure? What is the voice? Look at book reviews – how do people respond to it?" – Brenda Copeland on including comp titles in your proposal
What's the best way to approach an agent about your book? Cherise Fisher says, in all honesty, it's best "for an agent to find YOU"; through published pieces, articles, Instagram, or all of the above.

PITCH WARS: "I want to know... what are the reading pleasures like? Trends come and go. In what way will your book be fun to read?” - Barbara Jones, Literary Agent on pitching
PITCH WARS: "Anybody can quote anybody, I won’t to know more about YOUR book." - Brenda Copeland, Book Editor
AGENT ROUNDTABLE: “Comps position your book and help me understand that you’re paying attention to the market. I expect and hope that my clients are reading in the space that they’re publishing into.” - Michaela Whatnall on including comp titles in query letters
AGENT ROUNDTABLE: “You have someone on your team who has industry experience, who believes in you as a writer. Even if it’s not this one, it’ll be the next one. That’s my philosophy.” - Michaela Whatnall on selling clients’ books to editors
AGENT ROUNDTABLE: “Watching a book get better and better each round is such a joyful process.” - Michaela Whatnall on manuscript revisions
AGENT ROUNDTABLE: "When you’re working on your book, think to yourself, ‘What’s my hook? What about my story will make it stand out on shelves?’” - Michaela Whatnall on query letters
AGENT ROUNDTABLE: “I read for a strong sense of character, an even pace, and a specific voice that only this writer could have created.” - Michaela Whatnall

PITCH PERFECT LIVE: "When you’re pitching your novel, you need to give a sense of conflict and tension. What’s at stake in your story?" - Brenda Copeland
PITCH PERFECT LIVE: "When you’re coming up with your comp titles, think about what you’re looking for. Is your book driven by setting? By voice?" - Brenda Copeland
PITCH PERFECT LIVE: "You have to make sure you represent your book exactly as it is. Be careful with the genres you use with your comp titles." - Dana Isaacson
PITCH PERFECT LIVE: "Your pitch and your query letter can be diagnostic tools. You find out what other people are responding to, and that’s really important to know." - Brenda Copeland

Check out @BNBuzz ‘s discover pick ‘The Tobacco Wives’ by Adele Myers
Remembering the birthday of Mary Flannery O'Connor, I #amwriting so my characters may live. More: #FlanneryOConnor - award-winning American #writer and #essayist - National Book Award 1972. georgiaencyclopedia.org/articles/arts-… -and- andalusiafarm.org/?page_id=5126 #FridayReads #quotes on #writing
It was "fun" and "quirky" and somewhat cool in the summer but also "respectable" and "professional." It harnessed the power of all the crazy expectations put on women in the workplace! (I owned 3.)
Twitter friends, if you're an author who's collaborated on one of my book giveaways, could you please consider retweeting upcoming #giveaways (even if you're not entering to win) as it REALLY helps to spread the word for #authors with a small number of followers. Thanks🙏😎
Marked as to-read: The Tobacco Wives by Adele Myers goodreads.com/review/show/46…
@PeterSchiff You’re totally right. Between the shelling of his capital, escaping assassination attempts, and attacks against civilians all across his country, he really should’ve been ironing a suit to address Congress.
@PeterSchiff @_Dima_M_ @J_Rehk14 Actual Ukrainian: I, as an actual Ukrainian, would not like that This guy: No, I think Ukrainians would be ok with that 🤦♀️
@J_Rehk14 @PeterSchiff As a Ukrainian seeing him in a suit in such straggling times would insult my serving friends and me.
This level of scrutiny whilst I'm #writing is pretty intense #AuthorsOfTwitter #DogsofTwittter
REVIEW 3/26 You have to try the new cigarette for women…MOMints. Made for women and safe for pregnant women. Can you imagine that type of advertisement? We meet the tobacco wives and Maddie who tries to expose the lies of the industry. 5/5 @adelejam @WmMorrowBooks
A classic example of failing to identify the actor is the sentence: “Mistakes were made.” Sentences like that make me want to shake the author. I want to yell, “Tell me who made the mistake!” conta.cc/3pmWimC #Writingtips #grammar
