There are hundreds of Hashtags. If you have been connecting
with other writers you have probably seen #amwriting and #writetip floating
around. They are both very useful, but
there are some others that may help you on your way if you are serious about
finding an agent or getting published. Following agent Hashtags will help you
improve your querying, get to know agents you want to query, and may
occasionally offer opportunities to pitch to agents.

#askagent Agents usually announce when they will be open on this Hashtag so monitor it regularly and follow agents who use it. It is a unique opportunity to ask all the agent question's you have wondered about.

especially if it is an agent you are planning to query.

often humorous or sarcastic.#CorvisieroQueries

I love those hashtags when I get the opportunity to jump on twitter. Learned quite a few things about agents, what they like and don't like, that they are just people and often fun to chat with.
ReplyDeleteT.J Thanks so much for your comment. I love them too. I have a few more I will add to it. I have learnt so much since using them :)
