84. YA Fantasy. This query is way too long. 3-4 paragraphs max are all you need (this one has 15). #100Queries

83. Commercial Fiction. Another pitch that focuses on theme instead of plot. Not really sure what the stakes are in this one. #100Queries

81. Picture Book. Pitch is short, but effective. Manuscript (often included with PB submissions) just doesn’t speak to me. #100Queries

79. MG Contemporary. Well-written pitch, just not grabbing me. Always looking for something I've never seen before. New twists. #100Queries

77. I don't know what this is, but the entire text is highlighted in bright pink. So blinding I can't even look at the screen. #100Queries
