Q2: Horror, demon is the main bad guy. Does anyone hear the word “demon” and get creeped out anymore? I don’t, personally. #tenqueries

Q1:SUCH A COOL CONCEPT! But it was self-pubbed in 2012 and has under 5K lifetime sales. Not sure what I’d be able to do with it. #tenqueries

Q10: I never watched the show, but I'm pretty sure this author wrote the novelization of an episode of Friends. #tenqueries

Q9: Military biography, grandson found out about his grandfather's time in WWIIand wants to tell his story. A very tough sell. #tenqueries

Q8: MG sports mystery that I'm going to request, LOVE, but then will probably have to pass since I won't be able to sell it. Boo.#tenqueries

Q7: Horror novel, the pitch involves wolves - or wulves, to be exact. Moving on. #tenqueries

Q6: Read the whole query and I have no clue what this book is about. But glad to hear that your husband is feeling better! #tenqueries

Q5: Travel memoir. I personally find these to be very boring. I never liked looking at vacation photos either. But that's me. #tenqueries

Q4: MG, opens w/ a boy walking home from school. What's exciting about a boy walking home from school? Nothing's happening! #tenqueries

Q3: Nothing fundamentally wrong w the MS, but the writing isn't quite there. This is probably my most common reason for passing. #tenqueries

Q2: Mystery, opens w/ cops standing around police tape surrounding the body of a dead girl. Sound familiar? Of course it does. #tenqueries

Q1: Medieval fantasy. Medieval fantasy isn't the same thing as historical fiction. Looking for the latter, not the former. Pass. #tenqueries

OK, that's my #tenqueries. No hits this time around. Have a great weekend!

Q10: Book is already up on Amazon. Not sure what he wants me to do with it now that he already published it. #tenqueries

Not gonna count this next one as part of #tenqueries because I rejected it months ago. The author won some local award so is now re-querying

Q9: Horror. Were-people. Clans and societies and hunters and monster legends. We all know how this story goes. Pass. #tenqueries

Q8: Holy crap is this a cool idea. Execution is lacking, though. These are the queries that break my heart. #tenqueries

Q7: Opens with six lines of dialogue, all ending in exclamation points. My disdain for exclamation points is well-documented #tenqueries

Q6: MG adventure about a kid at a new school who joins a secret club of crime fighters. Cool premise, but not overly original. #tenqueries

Q5: Pet peeve of mine: queries typed in 18-20 point font. It's like you're hoping big letters will mask lousy writing. #tenqueries
