Q7: An email re: my #MSWL tweet about a heist novel, from an author I'd previously rejected in multiple genres. No. #tenqueries #agentry

Q6: High Fantasy. I'll admit now that traditional HF just doesn't appeal to me. Overwritten and too long. Pass. #tenqueries #agentry

Q5: Upper MG. The concepts skew VERY YA; the writing should reflect the sophistication. Reads simple, moves slow. Pass. #tenqueries #agentry

Q4: MG. Sports-centric, which doesn't snag my interest, and the stakes aren't high enough. Pass. #tenqueries #agentry

Q3: Fantasy/Dystopia. The time for dystopia has passed; this is cluttered with characters, concepts, & cliches. Pass. #tenqueries #agentry

Q2: Satire. The first in a series of 12(!) books. Too dialogue-heavy and the subject is distasteful. Pass. #tenqueries #agentry

Q1: MG Fantasy calling itself Magical Realism. There's a big difference, folks! VERY tropey and familiar. Pass. #tenqueries #agentry
