But here's my big take. If you don't know how to apply advice, you're probably better off not. No advice is helpful if you don't know what to do with it. Even good advice. If it doesn't give you a clear editorial vision, then you'll just be making changes, not improvements.

If you’ve queried me before, feel free to query me again with a new manuscript. I’ve taken on clients’ book 2 or 3. It shows you have perseverance, tenacity, and a knowledge of the industry, that you don’t take it personally, because it’s not personal.

You received an "almost, but not quite" rejection from an agent. It's soul crushing. What went wrong? Writers often end up blaming their plot, then adding higher stakes, more tension. But the majority of times, the problem relates to character development. A thread (1/6)

A helpful and easy-to-understand explanation of what's behind paper shortages (now affecting every publisher) and what can be done: buff.ly/3ufSKp7 | h/t @BoSacks

QUERY UPDATE: I am reopening to queries on April 1, 2022! I'll be using Query Manager going forward, so stay tuned for submission info!

I'm getting a lot of DMs and emails lately asking if it's okay to "follow up" when querying.
In my opinion, please do!
A project I recently sold was the result of an author sending me a friendly nudge. I'd missed their email!
Nothing bad happens as a result of checking in.

I know that professors, beta readers, editors, etc may tell you to split up your very long memoir into separate books to give you a better shot at publication. But the hard truth may be that you just need to cut down your very long memoir.

Agents, I am DYING for some extra creepy MG horror! Particularly commercial stories that are short and sweet. I haven't had nearly enough nightmares lately 🙂 #MSWL

"A ‘No’ is sometimes a ‘Not now.’"
This is an important mindset to try to keep while you're querying or on submission. I don't have the exact numbers, but I've signed a number of clients on R&Rs or on a new book.
I've also sold a number of clients' books on R&R or a new book.

If you’re interested in writing personal essays or a memoir about traumatic events, you might have some therapeutic work to do before your project is ready for critique or editing, let alone the public: buff.ly/3swyWfg | insight from @LisaEllisonsPen #amwritingmemoir

We all want (and yes, make judgments based on) instant results in publishing—week 1 sales, first month sell-through, etc. But it’s a LONG GAME. I published EVELYN HUGO in June 2017. Just last week *alone* it sold 25k in paperback. There is no expiration date on a great book. 💚
