Writer of children's books & poetry and #amwriting a marketing book. Aim to get published soon. I’m a sales, marketing & digital specialist #writing #marketing

[Emma @writingandrhyme]

For now, if literary agents have decided they can’t often be bothered to reply to #writers I’ve decided I can’t be bothered to submit to #literaryagents - I’m very busy, it’s a 2 way street, & when the digital sector meets self-publishing who knows! Things change #amwriting

[Emma @writingandrhyme]

@literallypr Have you got a winner @literallypr - just checking on the off chance you haven’t - unlikely I know but only just saw it 😊

[Emma @writingandrhyme]

@BytetheBook @scifi_nut @Kelly_Weekes @Shimmr_AI Fabulous event - thank you @BytetheBook and @LondonBookFair

[Emma @writingandrhyme]

@LydiaRSilver I think I’ve got a MG like you want but as most literary agents seem to just read 1 page or give no feedback I’ve decided not to send it to agents for now. It takes years to write something like this & I’m fed up with the submission system- #amwriting #WritingCommmunity #writers

[Emma @writingandrhyme]

This could be an interesting session #writingcommunity #writers #writing

[Kate Nash Literary Agency @KNLitAgency]

📢 Calling all #amwriting and #amquerying writers📢

Tomorrow at 6pm (BST), we'll be holding an #AskAgent evening. For one hour, our agents will be online to answer any questions you have about writing, querying and publishing.

We'll see you tomorrow!

[Emma @writingandrhyme]

Just wondering what’s going to happen to the traditional book #publishing sector if they don’t do something fairly quickly to make the process more appealing and enticing to writers and to improve the way submissions are received - #publishing #selfpublishing #WritingCommmunity

[Emma @writingandrhyme]

Not interested in submitting to #literaryagents this year. I’m a digital marketing specialist & too busy. Process too longwinded. Have middle grade written with great commercial & multi-channel potential. If agents or #publishers want to talk please contact me #WritingCommmunity

@AdamLavis 🤣

@AmyNielsen06 Lack of feedback! - I’m based in London & from what I see, there seems to be a distinct lack of feedback from #literaryagents - I think this needs to change for them as much as for #writers - as when #selfpublishing & #digitalmarketing really meet change may happen! #amwriting

[Emma @writingandrhyme]

@writingoutlook I have had various #writing projects on the go for the past few years so hopefully more than one - but for now, I’d be happy if I got one published within a year.

[Emma @writingandrhyme]

Hi - I am a digital specialist and a #writer - I write picture books and middle grade (not yet published) - hope to publish next year and want to build connections with teachers, school libraries and those in children’s education #ffbwednesday

#writers - I say as hard as it is, try not to get disheartened by rejections from #literaryagents. Keep doing what you do well & believe in your creativity. It’s tough & if it’s too demoralising there are other ways #amwriting #WritingCommmunity #selfpublishing @IndieAuthorALLI

[Emma @writingandrhyme]

@Emmett_Cath @writementor Can’t do this one at the moment but sounds good and would like to look into it in the future as rhyming picture books is one of the things I write #writerhyme

[Emma @writingandrhyme]

@CatherineIsaac_ 🤣

[Emma @writingandrhyme]

I’ve worked in the digital sector for years & think traditional #publishing generally has a long way to go when it comes to #literaryagents understanding digital & cross channel potential - I see this as a big opportunity for #selfpublishing & for #writers - #WritingCommunity

[Emma @writingandrhyme]

@writingoutlook Sales and marketing book = insightful, informative and helpful

[Emma @writingandrhyme]

This week I am doing the 10 day #bizbookchallenge with @bookstothesky - had planned to book onto this before but never managed to do so - have read Alison’s book about #writing business books which I thought was great so looking forward to the challenge #amwriting

[Emma @writingandrhyme]

@writingoutlook I have to say I think getting feedback really helps and I don’t think #writers should be worried about negative feedback - instead I think listen hard, see it as valuable input & use it to improve your work if you can #amwriting

[Emma @writingandrhyme]

@kenyon_isabelle Interesting post for #writers I think - thanks @kenyon_isabelle

[Emma @writingandrhyme]

@writingoutlook As many as I can but it depends due to work- as an average (on a typical week) I’d say 1 hour a day - I’d love to do a lot more but work gets in the way #amwriting #WritingCommmunity

[Emma @writingandrhyme]

@bookstothesky Thanks for your reply - I’m looking forward to day 2 😊

[Emma @writingandrhyme]

@bookstothesky I am doing your 10 day #writing challenge and am just sending this message to let you know - I was already following you here - looking forward to the challenge 😊
