I missed #Muse23 Session 1A: Get Your Work Noticed By Literary Agents with Mitchell Waters and Miriam Altshuler this morning, but the recording is already up, so I'm going to live-tweet my re-watching. (Is that still live-tweeting? 🤔)
#ProTip: Sending super-outrageous things to catch an agent's attention might be so unusual that the agent forgets there's actually a query involved. Don't distract them from the task at hand!

Mitchell isn't a fan of synopses: if they're really detailed, he feels like he's already read the book by the time he gets the manuscript.
Lesson: look for what the agent's specifications are, and tailor your query to for each submission.

At #Muse23! In Session 2A: How Can Writers Show Up as Literary Citizens? with Saba Sulaiman (@agentsaba) and Katherine Fausset. 🧵
I'm sorry, y'all -- I am usually MUCH faster live-tweeter, but I'm discovering that web Twitter has become significantly less usable since I last did this. Jesus, Chief Twit. 😖 #Muse23
We've had some great suggestions on being a good literary citizen:
--borrow books from your library (even if you don't finish them!) -> it keeps books in circulation
--make purchase suggestions to your library
--suggest authors to your local bookstores
