Q1: Ooh, it’s an #MSWL. Dark YA w/fantasy twist. SO up my alley, but writing sample has too much backstory. Reluctant pass. #tenqueries

10: YA alt fantasy. Great letter-personalized, unique/relatable comps. Sample is urgent, polished, & present. Partial request! #tenqueries

9: MG. Letter is confusing--opens w/description, & address to me halfway down. Cool idea, but writing just not strong enough. P #tenqueries

8:YA alt history. Good letter-personalized, strong summary. Right up my alley, but sample too info-dumpy, not present enough. P #tenqueries

7: Adult. Great letter. Historical=good, but set in a commonly-explored period. Intro pages heavy on backstory. Reluctant pass #tenqueries

6: PB. The rhyme feels forced, the language weirdly contorted. Wish it had rhythm and internal rhyme, not a "AABB" structure. P #tenqueries

5: YA. Letter is ok, but not personalized. Another Grim Reaper story--seen so many of these lately & this one's not for me. P #tenqueries

4: MG low fantasy. Personalized letter, strong synopsis. Story is unique. Pages read well & want to read more. Partial request! #tenqueries

3: YA paranormal. Not a great fit for my list & crazy paranormal elements intro'd immediately, before I care abt character. P. #tenqueries

2: YA. Vampires need heroine's blood. Seen it before-esp sexy mystery man on p2. Need projects that stand out, not blend in. P #tenqueries

1: PB. Not rhymed=good. Barnyard stories usually too quiet & common but this is modern & funny. Humor is too mature, tho. Pass #tenqueries
