Q6: YA with fantastic elements. Not loving the premise, as it's been done before. Pass. #tenqueries

Q4: Awesome query, excellent premise, but it's about mermaids, which are oversaturated now. Sadly, I pass. #tenqueries

Q2: MG F. Interesting idea, but it's not grabbing me. Pass. #tenqueries

Q1: R, but not a ton of story. Pass #tenqueries

Q10: YA F. Premise reminds me of Diana Wynne Jones (yay!) but story itself has way, way too many things going on. #pass #tenqueries

Q9: NA. Interesting setting and characters, but no conflict other than the male MC meeting three interesting women. #pass #tenqueries

Q8: YA about rape. Important subject matter, but not presented in a unique enough way to get me to bite #pass #tenqueries

Q7: NA with no other conflict except getting through freshman year at college. #pass #tenqueries

Q6: Author is confused about whether their book is YA or MG. Also mega-didactic. #pass #tenqueries

Q5: MG UF. Could be super interesting, but query letter makes it sound generic. #pass #tenqueries

Q1: MG about superheroes. Well-written, but I've gotten a ton of superhero stuff lately, and I rep one already. #pass #tenqueries

Q7: Supernatural YA rom. A little didactic and doesn't have much other plot. Pass. #tenqueries

Q6: 170K High F. Gives me oveview, but no characters so no reason to care and distinguish it from other epic fantasy. Pass. #tenqueries
