Q10: Literary. Didn't follow query guidelines, messy writing, & already objectifying women by the 2nd paragraph. Pass. #tenqueries

Q9: YA horror. Also close! I had high hopes from the query but the sample writing just didn't cut it. Disappointed pass. #tenqueries

Q8: YA SF. Overused premise, mediocre writing. Creating a proxy "issue" for racism is risky and must be handled with care. Pass. #tenqueries

Q7: YA fantasy. The pacing drags: long descriptions of every minute action and thought. Pass. #tenqueries

Q6: Adult literary. A tough call: I love the premise & the writing is decent, but ultimately not good enough to take on. Pass. #tenqueries

Q5: YA. Another cute pitch, but the sample pages aren't really what the query described. Not loving it, so pass. #tenqueries

Q3: Fantasy. Another very cliche opening, plus the sexist undertones have me cringing. Pass. #tenqueries

Q2: YA dystopian. This genre is overdone & I'm not seeing a new angle here. Sample pages are full of exposition. Pass. #tenqueries

Q431: SF with a whole bunch of white dudes. Pass. #500queries

Happy #Snowmageddon2015, if that's what this really is. Clearly the best thing to do on a day like this is another #tenqueries!
