Q1: R, but not a ton of story. Pass #tenqueries

Q10: YA F. Premise reminds me of Diana Wynne Jones (yay!) but story itself has way, way too many things going on. #pass #tenqueries

Q8: YA about rape. Important subject matter, but not presented in a unique enough way to get me to bite #pass #tenqueries

Q7: NA with no other conflict except getting through freshman year at college. #pass #tenqueries

Q6: Author is confused about whether their book is YA or MG. Also mega-didactic. #pass #tenqueries

Q2: F YA. Comps are ringing my bell, but I'm a little worn out on the subject matter right now #pass #tenqueries

Q9: Query for Jodi Reamer, "Jodi Reamer" is in a completely different font than the rest of the letter; clearly a cut and paste email blast

and FYI Q8 is exactly the kind of historical NF I'm looking for: new elements of popular historical events that deserve to be known

Q8: NF historical about one of the most important nights of the Civil War that gets no attention from the mainstream. I'm very intrigued

Q7: Author made it very clear that he did his research and is querying me for a reason. That's the kind of stuff that gets your work read

Q6: Adult mystery about missing librarians, 40K words - way too short. 40K is MG territory

Q5:YA coming of age, author compares herself to John Green. Nice confidence, but you just set the bar CRAZY high. Careful w your comp titles

Q4: Medical thriller written in the present tense. I love the present tense, but it's hard to pull off. This author doesn't quite have it

Q3: MG adventure story about hidden Revolutionary War treasure. GREAT premise, but the writing isn't there. Too bad.
