85. YA Fantasy. The premise just doesn’t sound like something I’d read. I think I’m particularly picky with fantasy concepts. #100Queries

The pitch isn’t necessarily bad, but when agents read so many queries day after day, you want to keep it as simple as possible. #100Queries

84. YA Fantasy. This query is way too long. 3-4 paragraphs max are all you need (this one has 15). #100Queries

83. Commercial Fiction. Another pitch that focuses on theme instead of plot. Not really sure what the stakes are in this one. #100Queries

82. Picture Book. Almost identical premise to a book published last year… #100Queries

81. Picture Book. Pitch is short, but effective. Manuscript (often included with PB submissions) just doesn’t speak to me. #100Queries

80. Adult Romance. Another genre I don't represent! #100Queries

79. MG Contemporary. Well-written pitch, just not grabbing me. Always looking for something I've never seen before. New twists. #100Queries

78. Adult Horror. Not something I'm looking for. A ton of untargeted queries today. #100Queries

77. I don't know what this is, but the entire text is highlighted in bright pink. So blinding I can't even look at the screen. #100Queries

76. Novella. Another category that's close to impossible to sell. #100Queries

75. Short Stories. I personally love reading these, but they are very hard to sell. Not looking for a collection right now. #100Queries

74. MG Fantasy. This one is fun! Fresh premise, sounds right for the age group. Definitely requesting. #100Queries

73. Crime Fiction. I don't rep this, so it's an automatic no. #100Queries

72. YA Fantasy. Unfortunately it sounds very similar to a number of queries I've read recently. Need to pass. #100Queries

Ugh nevermind, the pitch did not live up to the title. 😢 #100Queries

71.YA Contemporary. The title of this manuscript is FANTASTIC! I want to request pages even though I haven't read the pitch yet. #100Queries

70. YA Fantasy. There's a time travel element that doesn't like it's for me. Great query though. Subjective pass here. #100Queries

69. Picture Book. About a personal story that I'm not sure will have universal appeal. #100Queries

68. MG Fantasy. Characters sound too old for MG. Also has a very dystopian description... #100Queries
