#tenqueries: Fantasy (witches). Pages pasted into body; the author doesn’t read sub guidelines. Plot is very familiar but needs a twist to make it stand out. Good try though! #pass

#tenqueries: Humor (?). Two-sentence pitch consisted of telling me they’d found me on Facebook and wanted to know if I’d be interested or if someone else would. #pass

#tenqueries: Adult horror/crime/thriller. Pitch sent by a representative of the author, it makes me wonder if they’re too busy to deal with the actual business of writing. Has no idea what genre it belongs in. #pass

#tenqueries: Women’s fiction (witches). Solid query, this author has done her homework on what I’m currently looking to add to my list and stands out from others with similar pitches. #request

#tenqueries: NF. Proposal pasted into body: Author doesn’t pay attention to sub guidelines. Promises of ancient technology that no one can utilize to accompany the book. Writing is not quite there yet. #pass

#tenqueries: MG fantasy. Such a cute concept but just misses the market right now so it’s a regretful #pass

#tenqueries: Adult horror. Pages pasted into body shows me the author doesn’t read sub guidelines. No personalization, obvious cut/paste. Voice didn’t hook me enough to request more pages. #pass

#tenqueries: Contemp fantasy: This type of fantasy isn’t my bag, but the plot was solid enough that another RSL agent may like it. #forwarded

#tenqueries: MG comedy. MS is a little on the wordy side but the query was well-written and true to the story’s format. I also snorted while reading it and woke up my turtle. Always a good sign. #request

#tenqueries: Lower MG fantasy. No discernable problem for the MC to solve and a bit of a Mary Sue. I’m afraid it lacks legs but can’t tell since the bio is actually longer than the pitch. #pass
