10- YA Fantasy and I do love this genre but I like a little romance with my fantasy too. This doesn't feel original enough #tenqueries

8- YA thriller, but this feels way older than YA. Know your genre, know your voice. Pass #tenqueries

7- YA, but again, it feels like middle grade. Voice doesn't feel authentic. Pass #tenqueries

#3 Author says this is YA but feels more like Middle Grade, which we don't represent. Do your research, know your genre.

#1, NA, I didn't love the query but I always read the pages. Writing not bad but feels like it started in the wrong place. I'm lost. Pass
