Q5: YA F. This query gets a bit more synopsis than query. Remember to tantalize not spoil in the query! I'm having a hard time understanding the world from the opening pages, & my confusion is making it lose the tension of the tense opening scene. 💔 #RevPit #10queries

Q4: A F. In the query this person did a great job with comps "with the elements of X and these other elements of Y." Premise of the pages is promising, and I'm into it, but I wonder if it would be better suited for YA than A. Can we accomplish that together? 💛 #RevPit #10queries

Q3: MG F. This one is very literary, and I'm impressed by the author's credentials, but it's missing comps in the query. The pages are very strong, and they've mastered deep POV in the sample. Not sure they need me! 💔 #RevPit #10queries

Q2: A F. My wordcount cap was 120k words, and this is almost 200k words. I'm a little forgiving with just a little over, but this is a lot over, so remember to always read directions! 💔 #RevPit #10queries

Q1: YA T. Great hook & logline in the query, so right off the bat I'm intrigued. The premise is nice and creepy, which is a great fit for my MSWL. Opening pages could use more deep POV and stakes, which I know I can work with them with. 💚 #RevPit
