Q8. A referral from an editor friend--I asked for some pages. We'll see! #10QAJ

Q7. YA. Tropey. Tell a story; don't rely on a death/a "sad book" concept to make your emotional impact for you. Make it REAL. Pass. #10QAJ

Q4. I'm not your girl for most historical/most high fantasy. It's nothing personal! Just a taste thing. Pass. #10QAJ

Q3. UrbFan. Humor/quirk can be great in a query, but not if it makes the plot hard to discern. Focus on facts, THEN style. Pass. #10QAJ
