#tenqueries 1. Good opening with character and intrigue, but not much world building and a bit too much telling in order to try to fit a large amount of details in there. Be careful of this in opening scenes as it distances your reader with too much info!

Good and interesting concept, but just. Not. Quite. There. The voice just isn't as prominent as I'd like it to be. #tenqueries #FindingMyOne

I repeat: a manuscript with a MC that starts as 18 or older does not belong in the YA age range... #tenqueries #FindingMyOne

Interesting concept, but just not quite grabbing me like I'd wish it to... #tenqueries #FindingMyOne

*sigh* The amount of queries I've opened claiming to be YA, but the main character is in college or older... #tenqueries #FindingMyOne

Writing in first person is DIFFICULT. Make sure you vary your sentence structure, even more if not practiced! #tenqueries #FindingMyOne

Oy, so close, but just not quite there. A little too much description and not enough polish in the writing. #tenqueries #FindingMyOne

When querying, your manuscript should be polished to gold in your standards, without multiple spelling mistakes. #tenqueries #FindingMyOne

Be careful with your opening! Open with a bang, draw your readers in, then let the description trickle through. #tenqueries #FindingMyOne

Another one that just isn't the right fit. #tenqueries #FindingMyOne
