Okay let's try to get this thing started! First #millionqueries is an urban fantasy. Tough market & the query's not hook-y enough. Pass.

#10 = urban fantasy. DARN! Really unique concept and very poor execution. Weak writing. PASS #10queriesin10tweets

#9 = self help. Nope, this is not a genre of work we represent. PASS #10queriesin10tweets

#8 = contemporary YA. Atmospheric, but query doesn't include a pitch - just backstory and character info. PASS #10queriesin10tweets

#7 = fantasy. Wordy and long and unclear as to the inciting incident or stakes. Too much backstory in the pitch. PASS #10queriesin10tweets

#6 = science fiction. Heroine doesn't feel relatable (I want to route for my characters!) and setup feels generic. PASS #10queriesin10tweets

#5 - fantasy YA. World building feels confusing and not well-enough developed. PASS #10queriesin10tweets

#4 = fantasy MG. Writing isn't strong enough - lots of grammar errors. PASS #10queriesin10tweets

#3 = contemporary YA. Query is wordy and unclear on pitch and characters. PASS #10queriesin10tweets

#2 = urban fantasy. Not a unique premise but spectacular writing &tons of personality. Great writing always wins ACCEPT #10queriesin10tweets

#1 = contemporary new adult. Hero is 20yrs old but the conflict isn't consistent with NA. So, wrong genre here. PASS #10queriesin10tweets
