Query #10: Literary fiction with a hooky, twisty family plot set in the Midwest; it's not explicitly comped, but this reminds me a lot of My Absolute Darling and Educated. Request.
Editor
Query #3: I waffle -- literary women's fiction (PERFECT), but it sounds extremely sad/serious, whereas the author's (great) credentials are all in comedy. Still, a comp title is one of Amy's faves (Where'd You Go, Bernadette), and I like the voice in the query. Request.

Q10: literary love story. Great setting and characters; good publishing history. Request. #tenqueries
Editor
Q4: lit women's fiction about reproductive rights. Perfect! Love the historical sweep of narrative, too. Request. #tenqueries
