I've got a #QueryWin today! YA Fantasy query with a balance of high stakes and voice that made me need to read the pages! Yay!

(3 cont) Maybe I've tried to sell something like it recently and couldn't! I do sometimes have to say no to projects I might like!A #querywin pitches me a book that I see I have the potential to love. I HAVE to love a ms to take it on, and you HAVE to have me love it!

Your query is my first impression of your writing! If not thoughtfully, carefully well-written, what impression does it give of your book?It's always a #querywin when I am desperate to read more: the polished query has really deliberately sold the book to me!

There are GREAT resources online about the range of word counts for each genre. Check them out before you hit send! #querytipMy favorite #querywin moments always start with a genre that's on my rep list and a word count in that genre's sweet spot.

Man, you guys really took my closing-for-August to heart and sent the Big Guns. I am really loving what I'm seeing in my inbox! #querywin

An early morning #querywin... a pitch for a book that's PACIFIC RIM meets THE SELECTION?!?

YA historical about something I didn't even know happened. Simple, to the point, clear, and fascinating. #querywin

Another writer started with a VERY risky first line of her query today. Luckily for her, I laughed. Heartily. And requested. #QueryWin
Literary Agent
I actually wrote "This is so messed up, and I'm loving it" when requesting more of a thriller. #QueryWin #JessicaFail

Another #querywin for a Middle Grade! This one a voicey contemporary(!) with an insightful, delightful protagonist
