I've got a #QueryWin today! YA Fantasy query with a balance of high stakes and voice that made me need to read the pages! Yay!

(3 cont) Maybe I've tried to sell something like it recently and couldn't! I do sometimes have to say no to projects I might like!A #querywin pitches me a book that I see I have the potential to love. I HAVE to love a ms to take it on, and you HAVE to have me love it!

Your query is my first impression of your writing! If not thoughtfully, carefully well-written, what impression does it give of your book?It's always a #querywin when I am desperate to read more: the polished query has really deliberately sold the book to me!

There are GREAT resources online about the range of word counts for each genre. Check them out before you hit send! #querytipMy favorite #querywin moments always start with a genre that's on my rep list and a word count in that genre's sweet spot.

Been working for 10 hours and just hit a #querywin! A contemporary with hints of mystery and a mouth-watering description of ramen on pg 1!

Another writer started with a VERY risky first line of her query today. Luckily for her, I laughed. Heartily. And requested. #QueryWin
