A #10queriesIn10tweets teaser = original query for THE INTERMINABLES along with my notes: writersdigest.com/online-exclusi…

Well done y'all! Another great #10queriesIn10tweets - thanks!

#10 = contemporary romance. Oh My GOSH SO GOOD! Clear, compelling, chemistry, story, hook, writing, everything! ACCEPT! #10queriesIn10tweets

#9 = YA fantasy. Writing feels too flowery - like it's trying too hard/ not organic. PASS #10queriesIn10tweets

#8 = YA science fiction. Doesn't feel like YA or SF - characters are too old and not clear on world building. PASS #10queriesIn10tweets

#7 = contemporary romance. Too much backstory and internal conflict. PASS #10queriesIn10tweets

#6 = epic fantasy. Lots of backstory and not a clear enough/ big enough hook. PASS #10queriesIn10tweets

ps. "thriller" doesn't make it too old for YA. Successful YA thrillers include DROP OF NIGHT #10queriesIn10tweets

#5 = YA thriller. Heroine and conflict feel too old for YA. PASS #10queriesIn10tweets

#4 = historical fantasy. Some cool concepts here but weak writing and not-compelling hero. PASS #10queriesIn10tweets

#3 = dystopian young adult. Writing (grammar, sentence structure, description, everything) is weak. PASS #10queriesIn10tweets

ps. But I AM excited to be seeing more science fiction romance in my slush pile recently! Woot! #10queriesIn10tweets

#2 = science fiction romance. Interesting world and setup but not enough about the romance. No chemistry. PASS #10queriesIn10tweets

#1 = YA fantasy. Plot catalysts feel generic and writing not strong enough to convince me to look past that. PASS #10queriesIn10tweets

Q10: Contemporary Erotica. Not a genre I want & it's already self-pubbed. Pass. #10queries

Q9: YA SFF. Premise had potential but ms lacks worldbuilding. Style is choppy & voice is absent. POV & punctuation issues. Pass. #10queries

Q8: Query is 1288-words (not counting sample pages) of I-have-no-idea-what-genre. No clue what story is. My brain hurts. Pass #10queries

Q7: RS. I'm not seeking previously published projects in any genre. I'd rather see unpublished manuscripts. Pass #10queries

Q6: Genre says RS but pages read as spec. I'm confused. Pages don't help clarify. I'm still confused. Pass. #10queries
