10) Strong hook, great writing, author w/ awesome background - but project is not for me. Passing along to colleague. #10queriesin10tweets

7) A YA that sounds epic and cool in a setting/with characters I've never read about. OK, I'll bite. Requested full! #10queriesin10tweets

Noticing a trend here in #10queriesin10tweets? It's REALLY NOT that projects suck - they're just not for ME. Somebody else will be smitten!

6) Good writing, well-published author, but it's historical set in a period I just have NO interest in. Have to pass. #10queriesin10tweets

3) Gorgeous artwork, creepy and cool. But for a project I have no idea how to sell. Have to pass. #10queriesin10tweets

1) Author seems lovely, but envisions a 155 book series. Not a typo. WOW! Overwhelming! Afraid I can't get on board. #10queriesin10tweets
