53. MG Historical. Interesting main character, adventure-filled, and even has a magical twist. Request! So excited! #100Queries

@JenniferLMeyer Most PBs should be under 1000 words! #100Queries

52. Crime Fiction. I don’t rep this. #100Queries

51. Literary Fiction. Pitched as magical realism, but it doesn’t sound like MR at all. Sounds like straight up science fiction. #100Queries

50. Nonfiction. Not pitching a project though. The book is already published, so I’m not sure why I’m receiving this email. #100Queries

49. YA Contemp. It’s set in the 1980’s for no reason. If your MS is historical, make sure it’s historical for a reason. #100Queries

48. YA Fantasy. Not enough information in the pitch. Extremely short query letter (and it’s rare for me to think that). #100Queries

47. Picture Book. Word count is way too long; trying to do too many things in one manuscript. #100Queries

@frogspadca Sequential. Only send the number of requested sample chapters. #100Queries

46. MG Fantasy. Nothing wrong with the query, just doesn’t sound like my type of story. #100Queries

45. PB. Concept is way too complex for ~500 words. #100Queries

@ACampbellReed Could be any of the above depending on the project. #100Queries

44. YA Science Fiction. I am really picky with sci-fi, but this one sounds FANTASTIC. Request! #100Queries

@Coffee_Is_love Only re-send if the agent implied they'd like to see future work. #100Queries

@writerdeeva Yes, mention it in your query letter so the agent knows the history of the project. #100Queries

@RobertPolk2 Not necessarily, but a writer needs to always be working on producing new work to build a career. #100Queries

43. YA Retelling. A super awesome (and original) sounding fairy tale retelling. Yes, please! #100Queries

42. YA Contemporary. Doesn't explain enough in the pitch. Other than the main characters, I don’t know anything about the MS. #100Queries

41. PB. I’ve seen this pitch before, and nothing seems to have changed for the writer to query again. #100Queries

@laurampohl We share a query inbox, so we can read all the queries if we'd like. #100Queries
