#9 = paranormal YA. The magical aspects feel weak and underdeveloped and characters not engaging enough. PASS #10queriesIn10tweets

#8 = science fiction. Darn! Great concept but very weak writing (poor grammar and no plot) PASS #10queriesIn10tweets

#7 = YA suspense. Setup feels overly graphic and brutal. PASS #10queriesIn10tweets

#6 = contemporary romance. Heroine isn't introduced in query although the hero is...and he sounds like a jerk. PASS #10queriesIn10tweets

#5 = nonfiction history of the bicycle. Sounds awesome! Not a genre a rep though. PASS #10queriesIn10tweets

#3 = historical YA. Not really a YA as the protagonist is 28yrs old and conflict isn't a teen conflict. PASS #10queriesIn10tweets

#2 = contemporary YA. Setting and plot feel too familiar/ generic. PASS #10queriesIn10tweets

#1 = contemporary YA. Nice diversity in characters, but not strong writing and weak inciting incident. PASS #10queriesIn10tweets

#10 fantasy middle grade. Cute hero, but overall not strong writing. PASS #10queriesIn10tweets

#8 = screenplay. We don't represent screenplays so this is an automatic PASS (we do sell book-to-film however) #10queriesIn10tweets

#7 = fantasy. Interesting world with unique magic system, but writing not quite strong enough to convince me. PASS #10queriesIn10tweets

#3 = historical YA. Characters don't feel relatable enough to pull me into the story. PASS #10queriesIn10tweets

#2 = contemporary YA. Conflict feels generic to me, characters have interesting backstory/ less interesting plot. PASS #10queriesIn10tweets

#1 = fantasy. The world/ magic is not explained clearly - writing not strong enough to pull off the setting. PASS #10queriesIn10tweets

#10 = urban fantasy. DARN! Really unique concept and very poor execution. Weak writing. PASS #10queriesin10tweets

#9 = self help. Nope, this is not a genre of work we represent. PASS #10queriesin10tweets
