Take it to Twitter

I'm pretty new to the twitter game. I resisted for sooo long. And now I'm HELLA miffed that I didn't join sooner! It's such an amazing resource for writers. Great for inspiration, connecting with other wordfolk, stalking potential agents, keeping up with your favorite authors, and participating in TWITTER PITCH CONTESTS! If you have a completed manuscript, these contests are great for testing the effectiveness of your pitch or challenging you to have the shortest query possible, getting down to the bones of your story!
