86. Historical Fiction. Another topic I’m just not pulled towards. This happens a lot. #100Queries
Literary Agent
85. Chapter Book. Not on board with the premise for this one. Simply not for me. #100Queries

Carie Juettner @CarieJuettner
@MsMariaVicente When you say "request" are you requesting the full ms or just a few pages/chapters?@CarieJuettner I almost always request a partial first (the first three chapters). #100Queries

84. Another memoir! Strange, I don’t get queries for these often. This one is too “random life stories” rather than theme-based. #100Queries
Literary Agent
83. MG Fantasy. This sounds soooooo cool. A fantasy premise I have truly never heard of before. Request! #100Queries
Literary Agent
82. Historical Fiction. Didn't read an interesting hook for this one. #100Queries
Literary Agent
81. Memoir. I’m not actively looking for memoirs, so I’m super picky with them. This one just isn’t my thing. #100Queries
Literary Agent
Those are all the queries for today! Show up again tomorrow afternoon for the last day (already?!!) of #100Queries.

Ellie the Porg @lindsburge
@MsMariaVicente Biggest challenge probably tapping into unfamiliar teenage world of cell phones, social media. Even Fbook not realistic now!@lindsburge This is true! I don't pretend to understand everything about teen culture. #100Queries

Joseph Quackenboss @JQuack86
@MsMariaVicente Strange question, what is the difference between a normal novel with chapters and a chapter book?@JQuack86 Chapter books are for children (ages 7-10). First books kids read on their own sort of thing. #100Queries

@acatris Writing "timeless" prose is definitely a skill! #100Queries
Literary Agent
80. Literary Fiction. Just doesn’t sound appealing enough for me (lit fiction can still have an interesting premise). #100Queries
Literary Agent
79. Chapter Book. I don’t see a place for this one in the market, sounds a bit too complex. #100Queries
Literary Agent
Tia Bearden @tiabearden
@MsMariaVicente debut author, YA contemporary. 120k words too much?@tiabearden Yes! 70k-80k would be better (and often even less). You have almost enough for two books there! #100Queries
Literary Agent
78. YA Magical Realism. I love this pitch so much that I’m requesting a full manuscript right away!! #100Queries
Literary Agent
77. Picture Book. Interesting premise, unique art. Request! #100Queries

Jim O'Donnell @JD_ODonnell
@MsMariaVicente I did not know that was a thing. Do you come across them often?@JD_ODonnell Often enough. I always feel really bad for writers spending their money on a useless service. #100Queries

Dvorah ❄️ @GoldenSong012
@MsMariaVicente related question: if you take a client for a YA project, what happens if they also write adult? Debating querying you.@GoldenSong012 That's a different situation. I have a few clients who write both. #100Queries
Literary Agent
76. YA Science Fiction. The pitch reads like literary fiction. Very strange. No sign of sci-fi elements. #100Queries
Literary Agent
75. Ugh a query letter from a “company” an author hired to send out query letters. DON'T DO THIS. #100Queries
