One of the easiest ways to get an auto-rejection from an agent is to have a word count that isn't even close to genre expectations. This thread should help you get a sense of where your book fits with your genre:

52 chapters later, this beast is done. Well, first draft done, so it's not even close to actually being done. But I'm taking a moment to celebrate this! #amwriting #WritingCommunity
Nominations are open to writers in Saskatchewan, Canada! The Prairie Grindstone Prize hopes that a year of freedom from financial constraints will be beneficial to their career. The winning writer will receive $50,000. #WritingCommunity

Congratulations!
✨I’ll be reopening to queries on 4/22, but before I do that I’d like to give back to the #writingcommunity by doing a free giveaway. Follow and RT to enter for a chance to win a 1st 10 pgs critique from yours truly. I’ll choose a winner on 4/10. #amwriting #amquerying 👀👀✨📚
Wanna see the query letter that compelled me to read #firstbornofthesun and offer rep within 2 weeks, that served as the basis of my pitch letter to editors, and that (along with an absolutely banging manuscript) ultimately landed Marve a 48-hr, 6-figure pre-empt? 👇👇👇

@writingcommunity, what draft do you typically send out to beta readers?
If you were to pick one thing our platform should have, it would be...
A nice deal? A good deal? What does that mean? #WritingCommmunity #writersoftwitter
The promised thread on adverbs! Newbie writers are often advised to cut adverbs entirely (heh), but adverbs can be marvelous shortcuts when used effectively (heh again) and with intent Compare: Killing me softly Killing me violently Kissing me softly Kissing me violently 🧵1/8
For querying authors!
Tonight was utter pandemonium toward the end. Feral. Wild. Amazing.

In honor of being 6 days out from opening to queries for the first time, a few top-of-wishlist #mswl items... 1) Romantasy, extra points for crossover. I know, I know. Everyone wants it. And so do I. ;) Extra points for sea shanty vibes, loyal animals, disability rep, LGBTQ+ rep

Happy Canadian Independent Bookstore Day! Buy a book at an indie store near you today to enter to win a gift card up to $1,000 to spend on more books! 📚 We're so proud to work with indie bookshops across the country. How to enter: indiebookstores.ca/cibd-contest/ #CIBD2024
Maybe I'm sending offers this weekend. Maybe I already started (I did). Will also be reading fulls all weekend and then will be back to queries. I think I only have 50 queries left.
My book won the silver medal 🥈 at the #FloridaBookAwards 🌴 what amazing night celebrating the authors who live and love and write stories about this amazing place ❤️
welcome to THE WILDE TRIALS🍀 keeping this book a secret for months was nearly as big of a trial (🤪) as getting it out of my brain and onto the page. Figuring out this story and cast of morally gray teens felt impossible at times but I’m so proud of what it’s become.
Me and @tay_epperson landing our dream agents in the same month, and being so excited about our future careers... in reality this is us:
Just signed my first professional-paying short story contract! Thank you again to @pinkythnkrpress for believing in my story of an irate AI demanding his soul! #writingcommunity
I searched the word "just" in my manuscript to check how often I used it as a crutch word. Guys. 🫠
A reminder to those who have requested trees through the Neigbourhhod Forest Program. Please pick up your trees from the Kindersley Library. These cute seedlings desperately want to be put into the ground. They will not survive long at the library.
Just started reading an insanely popular book and decided to”nope, I’m not hooked”. Just like an agent. Except this book is already published. But I’d not take them as my client so… subjective! Remember this when an agent rejects your book. #amquerying #WritingCommunity
This popped up on my timeline so I’m sharing in hopes some of my agent colleagues see it. I’m not open to YA right now, but this sounds amazing. Serpent & Dove lives in my head rent free.
Share the first paragraph from your book/WIP to gain some reader interest. Here is my the first paragraph of my YA fantasy retelling of the Strasbourg Dancing Plague that's Serpent & Dove X Once Upon a Broken Heart X Little Thieves #amquerying
I have not been here all that much (and probably will continue to be absent for now) but your blood, my bones has officially been a NYT bestseller for 3 weeks so I wanted to log in and say a giant thank you to all of you for showing up week after week for this weird little book.
Writing a 90k fantasy with complex magic, deadly competition rounds, and the political commentary of what happens when religion is used by power hungry men to further their agendas is still EASIER than writing this 20 pg research paper I've pushed off all semester... 🫠
I’m so thrilled to finally say that my YA Fantasy debut, OF FLAME AND FURY, will be hitting shelves in July 2025 with @firstinkbooks, a new imprint of @MacmillanKidsUK! thebookseller.com/rights/first-i…
How do you know if you're "ready" to query? One thing to consider is whether you're gone through all the basic steps of revision. This thread walks you through that process!
You know you're supposed to "revise extensively" before querying literary agents, but what exactly does that mean? And how much revision is enough? 🧵 1/? #AmQuerying #AmRevising #WritingCommunity
It’s been a long time coming…✨ I am SO thrilled to announce that after two offers of representation, I am officially repped by @KatieBlagden at @_Bright_Agency! Her vision for my book has me so excited me for all that’s to come!! 💜 #WritingCommunity
I’ve docusigned. It’s official. I have an agent. 😭 #amquerying no longer. I’m freed from the trenches. All the glory goes to GOD. Truly, he’s been answering my prayers. Now Rep’d by Mariah Stovall @trellislit
I am open to queries for just 5 more days and I am seriously looking for an adult werewolf story—any steam level from not to hot. I made a special genre tag for this and everything, so PLEASE SEND TO MEEEEEEE🕯️
Somehow my post about my rejection of a full reached 4.5k impressions…!!!??? HOW???!!! I’m really humbled that so many people found it helpful.
