Q1: Fiction. Premise isn't for me. Pass. #tenqueries

Q10: MG contemp. Very sweet premise, but the voice here isn't working for me -- sounds too young to be believable 12y/o. #tenqueries

Q9: YA steampunk romance. Sounds...weird & cool but I'm not sure it's for me. Though I did dress up as a steampunk 5 Halloweens in a row.

Q8: MG historical. Pitch just doesn't sound exciting to me. And the voice in sample is a tad clinical. #tenqueries #askagent

Q7, attempt #2: Holy, this voice. It's good. Interested!

Q7: YA contemp. The query letter is a bit vague, but: Holy—?

Q6: YA. Writing is good but fantasy premise is just too familiar. I need the world building to have a GREAT hook for my fantasy. #tenqueries

Q5. World's longest query letter, and at the end, I'm still not sure what it's about. Pass. #tenqueries #askagent

Q4: YA contemp. Pass. Issue-driven premise a tad familiar so the voice would have to sing. Too snarky for my taste, though. #tenqueries

Q3: MG horror. A spooky adventure with a touch of comedy? Yes. And opening made me laugh. Flagged for a closer look. #tenqueries #askagent

Q2. YA contemp. Pass. Again, opening just doesn't pull me in. Too much description, not enough happening. Who is this character?

Q1: P. Interesting concept, but the opening is all dialogue. Not even dialogue tags. I'm lost.

No requests made after today's #tenqueries. A lot of great submissions but unfortunately none that were quite right for me. #subjectivity

Q7: Contemporary YA about a boy who goes to great lengths to get on a reality tv show. Didn't connect with query or sample. Pass #tenqueries

Q6: Adventure/Mysteries series set in western Europe. Query is very dense. Read 2 pages of sample. Pass #tenqueries
