I really need to be compelled by a premise to request material. Sometimes it doesn't matter how great your query letter is. #100Queries

86. Historical Fiction. Another topic I’m just not pulled towards. This happens a lot. #100Queries

85. Chapter Book. Not on board with the premise for this one. Simply not for me. #100Queries

@CarieJuettner I almost always request a partial first (the first three chapters). #100Queries

84. Another memoir! Strange, I don’t get queries for these often. This one is too “random life stories” rather than theme-based. #100Queries

83. MG Fantasy. This sounds soooooo cool. A fantasy premise I have truly never heard of before. Request! #100Queries

82. Historical Fiction. Didn't read an interesting hook for this one. #100Queries

81. Memoir. I’m not actively looking for memoirs, so I’m super picky with them. This one just isn’t my thing. #100Queries

Those are all the queries for today! Show up again tomorrow afternoon for the last day (already?!!) of #100Queries.

@lindsburge This is true! I don't pretend to understand everything about teen culture. #100Queries

@JQuack86 Chapter books are for children (ages 7-10). First books kids read on their own sort of thing. #100Queries

@acatris Writing "timeless" prose is definitely a skill! #100Queries

80. Literary Fiction. Just doesn’t sound appealing enough for me (lit fiction can still have an interesting premise). #100Queries

79. Chapter Book. I don’t see a place for this one in the market, sounds a bit too complex. #100Queries

@tiabearden Yes! 70k-80k would be better (and often even less). You have almost enough for two books there! #100Queries

78. YA Magical Realism. I love this pitch so much that I’m requesting a full manuscript right away!! #100Queries

77. Picture Book. Interesting premise, unique art. Request! #100Queries

@JD_ODonnell Often enough. I always feel really bad for writers spending their money on a useless service. #100Queries

@GoldenSong012 That's a different situation. I have a few clients who write both. #100Queries

76. YA Science Fiction. The pitch reads like literary fiction. Very strange. No sign of sci-fi elements. #100Queries
