Sorry, I missed last week with my Tweets-Acular but I was sick in bed with a nasty cold. I want to thank my readers, clients, friends and family for their ongoing support and love of well wishes while I was sick.

But I am back now and ready to share the next edition of the Tweets-Acular for Authors and Writers.

1) @documentdriven tweeted through @brodiegal and @gingerclark about a blog Guide to Literary Agents about Successful Queries. This is a rare occasion that agents will offer sample of queries that work for them. On her Ginger gives the reasons this query worked for her and helped her decision to work with this author.

2) @weegee offered a tweet about Payment Options for the Sub 5 Dollar Purchase. In this post Joe Wilkert discusses the fact he is surprised how many times he has purchased .99 cent or even 1.99 purchases from iTunes in the last couple of months. However, he goes on to talk about how this payment model may work for music but this won’t be a viable solution in the publishing industry (to sell chapters of books). I agree. I don’t forsee readers purchasing chapters verses the whole book…I mean, really what is the point.

3) @thecreativepenn (someone I recommend following for authors & writers) tweeted about a news release about an author (Marion Chesney) who was able to revive her out-of-print books when she brought them exclusively to Amazon Kindle. Hey-it is an option and this author was happy to know there was this option for her.

4) @MADconsulting offered a tweet via @turbotweet titled the 100 ways to become a better Twitterer. Some pretty solid advice.
Here are a few:
# Show gratitude: If someone’s helped you out, be sure to thank them publicly.
# Be genuine: Avoid being false-stay honest and let people see yourself.
# Don’t share EVERYTHING you do: Don’t share useless details about your cat or grilled cheese sandwich for lunch-make things a little more interesting.

5) And something from my email box. Received notification from one of my LinkedIn Groups, Writing Mafia, they are starting a blog talk radio show next week to discuss Non Fiction Book Proposals. It is nice to see they are branching out to include a radio show. Hope to see, well hear, you there!

Well, this is another edition of Tweets-Acular for Writers and Authors. I hope you have enjoyed it. Please join in and comment to tell me your thoughts on these tweets and blogs.
