Hi All, please don't let my #tenqueries dissuade you from trying! I promise I'm not as mean as I may seem on Twitter. Just trying to give some insight into my thought process! #amagenting

Q10: New Adult. Shy girl joins a band plot has been done too many times. And I'm confused by the choice of setting. Pass. #tenqueries

Q9: Middle grade mystery/humor/adventure. Word count seems too low and I'm not connecting w/the topic which seems too educational. Pass. #tenqueries

Q8: YA Paranormal. ANGELS AND DEVILS--NO THANKS. At this point, it feels like many authors aren't even bothering to research me. And it's frustrating. Big pass. #tenqueries

Q7: YA Sci-Fi. I'm usually more cautious about stories set in space, but this has a great summary w/ a clear set up of the protagonist's motives and conflict. Request. #tenqueries

Q6: Adult or New Adult? The premise feels like it's been done a million times and I believe it will be too literary for my tastes. Pass. #tenqueries

Q5: YA Paranormal. I don't understand the world and the magical creatures feel too out there for me. Pass. #tenqueries

Q4: YA Paranormal mystery. Tone is stiff and I can tell the author doesn't think highly of teens. This will be too didactic. Pass. #tenqueries

Q10: YA Sci-fi. Summary started off really strong and then became increasingly more confusing. Pass #tenqueries

Q8: Children's. Series of short chapter books that adapt classics for children. The format is difficult and the concept is totally unoriginal. Pass. #tenqueries

Q6: YA Urban Fantasy. Not sure I'm 100% sold on the plot, but the letter is very well written and it has an original concept. Request. #tenqueries

Q5: YA Fantasy. Interesting premise, but confusing world. Pass. #tenqueries
