22. YA Horror. Interesting concept. The stakes for the protagonist aren’t outlined as much as I like to see in a query though. #100Queries

21. YA Contemporary. This one sounds too much like a MG novel and comes across as very quiet. Nothing to hook the reader. #100Queries

20. YA Fantasy. It's dystopian and I just really can't take on a dystopian project right now. The market isn't there for it. #100Queries

16. Anther query without a genre or category listed. Pitch sounds like adult sci-fi though, which I don't rep. #100Queries

15. A "referral" sub from someone I don't know. Queries like this are odd. I think someone paid for a query help service... #100Queries
