@CP_Daly Well, if you're not getting any feedback that's specific to your work or requests, then u probably want to look at both...1/2 #BookEndsChatFor me, the first five pages tell me more than the query - but the query still has to get your foot in the door. 2/2 #BookEndsChat

Who'd be the best agent to query an #ownvoices YA book about hate crimes? #BookEndsChatHonestly, I think anyone doing #YA at BookEnds would be open to something like this. #BookEndsChat #ownvoices

#BookEndsChat Rejections,"not a good fit" should one revise the query or pages provided. How to proceed & make better.Thanks for your time.When we free-write the query we discover that it's not working because the book should go in a new direction #BookEndsChat #querytip

How do you feel about the mix of 1st and 3rd pov in suspense novels? #BookEndsChatIt's really going to be about execution. I think it can be powerful if done right. #BookEndsChat

I ask because I fear mentioning it in a query will make it appear I'm not confident in the book as is. #BookEndsChatYou could phrase it like this book would pair well with illustrations and I'm open to including art to make it stand apart #BooKEndschat

Is an unrelated pro writing career useful in a query? #bookendschatDuh. I'm tired. Yes, it totally is, but don't bog down your query with it. Make the query about the book. #BookEndsChat
