Wonderful people of twitter: once @teamredsofa is open to queries again on 1/1, watch out for my fourth round of #500queries!

Holy cow. This pitch is for a very adult book made into a fantasy for kids. Yes yes yes I want that! #QueryWin

This query + sample very cleverly inserts images + words from that EXACT time period--right at the beginning of Nintendo. Request! #QueryWin

Q10: Pitched three projects in one query, no samples provided as per guidelines. Pitch ONE manuscript. Follow guidelines. Pass. #tenqueries

Q9: A SF. Male MC in a matriarchal system trying to overthrow it and make it patriarchal. Or equal? Dangerous territory... Pass. #tenqueries

Q8: Graphic novel? Comic? NA manuscript that needs illustrations? I don't know. I don't represent any of that. Pass. #tenqueries

Q7: YA Contemp. Focus on friendship and self-discovery, less on romance, very Emery Lord (adore!). Partial. #querywin #tenqueries

Q6: YA Fantasy. Voice felt MG, content implied NA. Overuse of exclamation points. Use those sparingly in ms & query. Pass. #tenqueries

Q5: YA Hist Fant. This project's exact concept has been pub'd at least 2x in the last year with little success. Pass. #tenqueries

Q4: Query contained paragraphs of bio & purpose for writing ms, 1 line about the ms, no sample provided as per guidelines. Pass. #tenqueries

Q3: A Contemp. Query and sample showed humor, wit, commercial appeal, and checked off several MSWL boxes. Partial. #querywin #tenqueries

Q2: YA Fantasy. Unoriginal plot (try to branch out of the norm!), low word count for all the ms wants to accomplish. Pass. #tenqueries

Q1: A Mystery. Query was told entirely in questions ("what would you do if..." "how would you feel when..."). Pass. #tenqueries

Q10: MG supernatural. The characters reactions/dialogue didn't quite feel authentic. Pass. #tenqueries

Q9: No salutation/greeting. Summary, but no query or sample pages. Premise isn't a good fit for the agency. Pass. #tenqueries

Q8: YA mystery/fantasy/adventure. Premise was similar to other titles on the market & pages need a little bit of context. Pass. #tenqueries

Q7: Mystery(?) Premise wasn't my cup of tea. Please check out our preferences on our website (link in bio). Pass. #tenqueries

Q5: YA sci fi. Premise didn't feel new/fresh. The dialogue felt like it was trying too hard. Pass. #tenqueries

Q5: YA fantasy. I felt like I was missing something. The pages seem to open right into the plot. Need bit of background. Pass. #tenqueries
