26. Oh, now this one is the complete opposite: a literary novel at 200k words. Way too long for me. #100Queries

25. Another novella. Nope. #100Queries

In any case, I'm not reading anything that sounds new. #100Queries

24. Could be YA or Adult, doesn’t specify. It’s definitely sci-fi (I’m drawing conclusions, since this isn’t specified either). #100Queries

23. Novella. I don’t rep novellas. I can’t do anything with a novella. #100Queries

22. YA Fantasy. The author is over-confident. “There has never been a greater story!” sort of thing. I never believe it. ;) #100Queries

21. Chapter Book. The query tells me next to nothing about the plot, mainly focused on author bio. #100Queries

Q181: more diverse books that are actually issues disguised as people. #500queries

Q180: Who can I pay to stop getting YA where a good, naive girl gets drawn to the dark side by a bad boy? #500queries

Q179: Super fun-sounding SF, but I'm not the right person for it, I think. #500queries

Q178: thriller. Why do I keep getting these??? #500queries

Q177: I auto-no any query that gives pages and not word count #500queries

@hereinlies Oh, I rep literary fiction... just the topic of that specific pitch wasn't my thing. #100Queries

@h_m_roberts In fantasy, there are a lot of "portal to another land" tropes that get repetitive. #100Queries

@writerShanna Agents read query letters in seconds. It would rarely take longer than a minute. #100Queries

20. YA Historical. Doesn’t seem to be a reason for it to be historical, which is not what I look for in historical fiction. #100Queries

It's so important to focus on the unique elements of your manuscript in the pitch!! #100Queries

19. MG Fantasy. Nothing wrong with the query, but the concept is nothing new. A lot of MG pitches sound the same. #100Queries

@IndiaHillWrites College-aged is a factor, but it's really more about the content (NA is a Romance subgenre). #100Queries

Querying should NOT be daunting. Researching agents/tips & following sub guidelines can get you far. #100Queries twitter.com/KellyQAnderson…
