Q5: YA Paranormal. I don't understand the world and the magical creatures feel too out there for me. Pass. #tenqueries

Q4: YA Paranormal mystery. Tone is stiff and I can tell the author doesn't think highly of teens. This will be too didactic. Pass. #tenqueries

Q3: YA RomCom. A dash of adventure, romance, fun, and with a great voice. Request. #tenqueries

Q1: Adult Sci-Fi. Very confusing summary and no clarification of character relationships or world. Pass. #tenqueries

Q10: YA Sci-fi. Summary started off really strong and then became increasingly more confusing. Pass #tenqueries

Q8: Children's. Series of short chapter books that adapt classics for children. The format is difficult and the concept is totally unoriginal. Pass. #tenqueries

Q7: Sci-fi. Space is difficult, but more than that, I'm not following the plot summary. And is this YA or adult? Pass. #tenqueries

Q6: YA Urban Fantasy. Not sure I'm 100% sold on the plot, but the letter is very well written and it has an original concept. Request. #tenqueries

Q5: YA Fantasy. Interesting premise, but confusing world. Pass. #tenqueries

Q4: Says it's YA, but has a 10 year old MC. Themes are too dark for that age + ANGELS, which I've stated multiple times I don't want. Pass. #tenqueries

Q3: YA Fantasy. Very awkward intro. Good summary, but I worry the plot is too cliche. Pass. #tenqueries

Q2: YA Paranormal. I don't love when queries are in the voice of the MC instead of the author. I'm not sure what kind of creature this is about. Pass. #tenqueries

Q1: MG Adventure. Has a lot of very charming elements. Unclear if historical or contemporary, but still, request! #tenqueries

My #TenQueries:

Query 1 - 10: This whole process is very hard and incredibly subjective. Don't give up, you can do it.

Q10: I am not really into fiction that takes place during the 50s, 60s,70s unless it's taking place in a country other than the US or the main characters are PoC or LGBTQIA+. I'm not looking for a coming of age story from those time periods from a white cishet POV. Pass.

Q9: YA with a writing voice that is trying to be too conversational and with the youths. Pass.

Q8: I'm not the right age range for this women's fiction. Pass.

Q7: Internet famous dogs and the humans that manage them? I am so incredibly intrigued! Considering!
