#10 = fantasy middle grade. Interesting world building but voice feels off and conflict feels too mature. PASS #10queriesIn10tweets

#9 = contemporary young adult. The protagonists are in their upper 20s which isn't YA. PASS #10queriesIn10tweets

#8 = young adult sci-fi. Weak writing + too much time spent on backstory and not enough spent on plot. PASS #10queriesIn10tweets

#7 = urban fantasy. Interesting hero but generic tropes and weak writing. PASS #10queriesIn10tweets

#6 = fantasy. Self published and now looking for Big 5 publisher. PASS. I don't rep previously self published novels. #10queriesIn10tweets

#5 = contemporary romance. Lots of backstory and character motivation for the heroine but no description of hero. PASS #10queriesIn10tweets

#4 = contemporary YA. Interesting themes but weak writing and generic characters. PASS #10queriesIn10tweets

#2 = historical romance. Weak grammar and poorly worded query. PASS #10queriesIn10tweets

#1 = young adult sci-fi. Introduction to the characters but not the plot, story or hook. Not a complete pitch. PASS #10queriesIn10tweets

As a reminder, there is nowhere to "submit" - I'm looking at queries already in my slush pile. Anonymously. #10queriesIn10tweets
