Q11: Un-requested resub. My pass still stands. #500queries

Q10: a run-on paragraph about how no one has signed you followed by your entire book pasted into the email is not a query. #500queries

Q9: YA retelling, but it's for a story I already am doing an R+R on. Pass. #500queries

Q8: I don't want a story about a priest being seduced out of the cloth by a wanton woman. Pass. #500queries

You don't need a proofread manuscript to query, but if the book is distractingly filled with errors, you're not getting a deal #500queries

Q7: Erotica is a genre, not any sexy book. Repeat: erotica is a GENRE. Books about the oil trade do NOT count. #500queries

Q6: MG SF adventure! I'm a bit wary that it might be a little too derivative and not quite quirky enough for me, but I'll bite! #500queries

Q5: YA F. Awesome platform, but set in a Tolkienesque world, and too literary for my taste. Pass. #500queries

Q4: It's totally a pet peeve of mine, but I auto-reject any query that begins w/ hypothetical questions. They're lazy loglines. #500queries

Q3: snarky romance, with firefighters. I'll bite. Request 3 ch. #500queries

Q2: query asking to resub. Don't do this if the agent has already read the MS, but in this case was ok bc I hadn't looked at it. #500queries

Q1: pubbed author, but wrote serious WF, which is not my bag. Pass. #500queries

Beginning another #500queries round! This one will go a little faster, I think! Let's begin!

Q10: Fiction. Query & pages are a bit wordy. Premise isn't really my cup of tea (trigger topics). Pass #tenqueries

Q9: Fiction. Query said nothing about the story...just telling what inspired the author. I wasn't invested in the pages. Pass. #tenqueries

I'm sorry that my #tenqueries have been split up over a couple of days. There seriously is #notenoughtime

Q8: YA fantasy (w/magical creature). Similar to a project I already have on my list. Pass. #tenqueries

I'm going to do another #500queries soon, but I need your opinion: just queries, or partials, too?

Now I just have to catch up on reading all the manuscripts I've requested during #1000queries.

Oh, hey, one of those #1000queries is now a client.
