Fellow writers. What is your favorite sentence from your current WIP? Please share. Mine is “Forever, the month of July will remind her of the two happiest days in her life; the day she got married and the day her husband died. #amquerying #WritingCommunity #amwriting #literary

@Lynnette_Novak Should be my screensaver!

Take heart writers. Agents would've rejected the Book of Genesis. Excessive backstory. Too much telling vs showing. @writingcommunity @amquerying @Literary_Agents

@MissHeth Feel the same way. So i wrote and memorized a two sentence “pitch” that i can rattle off when someone asks

[Mary Beth Mooney @AuthorAngst]

@MisterHand1 Thanks for your suggestion. I needed a morale boost but I'm back in the querying saddle today!

[Mary Beth Mooney @AuthorAngst]

Need cheering up today. An agent reading my full responded “I love your writing, I love your characters, and love your energy.” Then came the rejection. It hit HARD. Tips to return to the mindset I’ll one day get out of the slush pile? #amquerying #amwriting #writingcommunity

[Mary Beth Mooney @AuthorAngst]

@astarte73 Thanks for the advice Ella!

[Mary Beth Mooney @AuthorAngst]

Does designing a book cover help/hurt/neutral when under consideration with an agent? What about book trailers? Was having my marketing team design both then wondered if it was a plus, minus, or neutral. Please give me feedback! #amquerying #WritingCommmunity #literaryagents

[Mary Beth Mooney @AuthorAngst]

@MisterHand1 Many thanks friends!

[Mary Beth Mooney @AuthorAngst]

Question for writers/agents out there. When you get an offer of representation whom do you notify? All agents you queried, even CNR? or only those you suspect are still actively considering a query? #amwriting #amquerying #WritingCommnunity #MSW
